About ARPITA
ARPITA GHOSAL is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who works with people facing grief, low self-esteem and anxiety. She holds BACP and brings four years of professional experience to clinical work. She aims to offer a calm space for people to start tackling hard moments in life.
Arpita believes people know their own stories and that therapy helps bring out existing strengths. She focuses on practical steps and conversation. Sessions often look at coping with loss, building confidence and managing stress in daily life.
Her approach draws on a mix of methods, including cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance-based practices. These help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small changes, and learn new ways to respond to difficult feelings. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas are used when relationships and connection are part of the issue.
People come for many reasons including relationship strain, parenting pressures, career concerns, body image and trauma-related distress. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among the areas she focuses on, and she works with social anxiety, depression and life transitions as well.
Sessions are offered in English, Bengali, Hindi and Urdu and Arpita accepts clients from outside the UK. She asks prospective clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule a time that fits their availability.
How Arpita's approaches adapt to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to clarify what matters to them and take small, values-led steps. It can help when anxiety or panic feels overwhelming by focusing on what a person wants to do next rather than on stopping the feeling. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. This approach is often used for panic attacks, social anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape reactions and helps people build safer ways of relating and communicating.Working out the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will discuss options with each person and choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone or video sessions suit different moments - for example a quick phone check-in when time is tight, or a video conversation when visual connection helps. Ask about scheduling and format options when you arrange the first appointment so sessions suit your routine.
