About Jatinder
Jatinder Purwaha welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or panic. He helps those facing trauma, grief, depression and big life changes. He works to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward.
He uses a direct, person-focused approach in sessions. Conversations are practical and grounded. Jatinder encourages people to name what they are feeling and to try small, workable steps between meetings.
With 32 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, he blends several therapy styles to meet each person’s needs. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify thought patterns, and on acceptance-focused work to clarify values and move forward despite difficult feelings.
He also pays attention to attachment and relationship issues that affect how people connect and recover. Sessions aim to reduce unhelpful cycles and build more helpful coping skills for everyday life.
Jatinder speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi, and has worked with people affected by adoption and foster care, domestic violence, caregiving stress, intellectual disability, and a range of personality and attachment concerns. He asks new clients about their goals and tailors the plan to what would feel most useful for them.
How different therapies are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, panic and ongoing worries where avoidance has become a problem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing it against reality. It often includes practical exercises and behavioural experiments to reduce panic symptoms and ease day-to-day functioning.
Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change repeating cycles in their close relationships. This can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties or trust issues.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. Sessions are adjusted over time if different techniques seem more or less helpful.
If you prefer to meet online, check which session formats are offered before booking so they fit your routine. Many people find remote work easier to fit around family and work commitments, and online meetings can make short check-ins or regular weekly sessions simpler to arrange. Confirm available formats when you book to ensure they meet your needs.
