About Neha

Neha Chahal is a counselling psychologist with 14 years of experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council). She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship and family concerns, and career or parenting strain.

Neha sees clients as the authors of their own stories and focuses on practical steps that build on existing strengths. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns that hold them back and try small changes that fit their life. She uses straightforward conversation and tasks people can practise between meetings.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred listening. This mix is used to help people manage difficult thoughts, repair important relationships, and build clearer values and goals.

Neha has worked with loss, trauma, chronic health worries and issues around identity and belonging, including LGBT concerns. She also helps people cope after major life disruptions such as illness or disasters, and with practical strains like caregiver fatigue and chronic pain.

Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. International clients are accepted. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times.

How Neha tailors therapy online with evidence-based approaches

Neha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred listening to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps in line with those values. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections influence current reactions. It helps people understand communication problems, repair strained relationships and feel more secure in close bonds. Client-centred therapy emphasises empathic listening and offers space for people to be heard and make their own choices about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and can adjust the mix over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to schedule across different time zones for international clients.
