About Jatinder

Jatinder Purwaha offers calm, steady support for people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. He speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi and works with adults who want practical help managing difficult emotions. He aims to make first conversations straightforward and non-judgemental so people can say what matters to them.

With 32 years of practice in the United Kingdom, he draws on a range of approaches to suit different needs.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can reduce distress. He helps people clarify their values and notice patterns that keep them stuck, then tries out manageable ways to shift those patterns. Jatinder uses client-centred listening alongside strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new skills.

He also works with elements of acceptance and commitment therapy to help people live with hard emotions without letting those feelings dictate every choice. Attachment-based ideas inform his work with people whose past relationships affect their present day connections and self-view. Dialectical behaviour therapy skills are offered for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation when needed.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. He accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. The aim is to match each person with an approach that feels right for them and their life.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when emotions are difficult. It encourages noticing thoughts rather than fighting them, which can reduce how much those thoughts control behaviour.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can make sense of their feelings and choose changes at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and try out new behaviours that improve mood and reduce anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods from different approaches to suit the person. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less data and can be easier on the move, and text or chat options suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still using established therapeutic methods.
