About Parule
Parule Basu-Barua is a counsellor who uses a client-focused way of working. She draws on client-centred and trauma-focused ideas to help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or past abuse. Parule also supports people managing eating difficulties and addictive patterns, and she pays attention to how these problems affect daily life and relationships.
She trained in therapeutic counselling in London and completed a degree at The Metanoia Institute, gaining a 2:1 honours. Parule has over five years of clinical experience and more than 1,500 recorded clinical hours in practice. She also holds BACP registration, which is noted in her credentials as BACP.
Before retraining she worked in television and media for over 20 years in the UK and the USA. That background influences her workplace skills in listening and helping people make sense of their experience. She is currently studying for a Masters at King’s College London in Neuroscience and Psychology.
In sessions she focuses on each person as an individual rather than a label. Conversations aim to get to the root of patterns such as compulsive eating, self-harm urges, intrusive thoughts, panic episodes and dissociation. Parule draws on mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice patterns and try small, practical changes.
She welcomes people who prefer a calm, reflective pace and who want to explore how past events shape current feelings. The approach is collaborative and paced to match what each person needs at the time.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Parule uses client-centred work to place your experience at the centre of therapy. This approach means the session follows what matters to you, with the therapist reflecting and helping you find your own solutions. It can help with anxiety, panic and relationship patterns by making space for your thoughts and feelings.She also draws on trauma-focused ideas to address distress that comes from past harm. Trauma-focused work looks at how past events affect current reactions and supports pacing and safety while gradually approaching difficult memories or triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Parule will work with clients to assess needs, goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to prioritise. This collaborative planning helps tailor therapy to managing panic attacks, calming anxiety, or addressing eating and addictive behaviours.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general online sessions can be easier to fit into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose quieter times or lower-bandwidth options when that suits them. Registered or accredited professionals can help you decide which arrangement will best fit your routine and goals.
