About ARPITA

Arpita Ghosal is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and brings four years of professional experience to her practice. Arpita focuses on helping people who are facing grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and life changes.

She aims to offer calm, practical support while people take steps towards feeling more able and hopeful. Arpita believes people know their own stories, and she works alongside them rather than telling them what to do.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. She listens for strengths and small wins that can be built on when problems feel overwhelming. Her approach draws on several evidence-based ideas.

She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values even when feelings are hard. Attachment-based ideas inform work around relationships and patterns that repeat.

Practical issues such as parenting strain, work stress and relationship conflict are common topics in her sessions. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, depression and panic. Conversations include skills practice, ways to manage upsetting moments, and planning realistic next steps.

Arpita offers therapy in English, Bengali, Hindi and Urdu. Sessions can be arranged by completing an online matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy process. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approach and online support that fits your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small actions that match their values. It is useful when someone wants to reconnect with what matters while still feeling overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. It often includes homework between sessions to build new habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns can shape current difficulties and supports people to try different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will tailor sessions accordingly. This is a collaborative process that may combine different methods as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you hold deeper conversations and practise exercises together. Phone sessions need less data and can fit a short break from work. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to arrange regular appointments, keep momentum and access support from wherever you are.
