ARPITA GHOSAL, BACP

ARPITA GHOSAL is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She approaches therapy with respect for each person's strengths and life story. She aims to help people take the difficult first step toward change and offers steady support along the way.

Her practice focuses on grief and loss, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, career questions and coping with life changes. She also works with trauma and abuse, panic and post-traumatic stress, and issues around body image and self-love. Other areas she addresses include attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose.

In sessions she draws on well-known approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused therapy. She also uses client-centred and attachment-based methods to keep conversations grounded in the person’s experience. This mix lets her tailor work to what a client needs most right now.

She offers therapy in English, Bengali, Hindi and Urdu and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and therapist availability and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

People who are nervous about talking for the first time will find a calm, straightforward approach. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building on strengths to manage emotions and move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and then taking steps that match your values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions in relationships and helps people understand and shift patterns that keep them stuck in conflict or disconnection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as sessions progress so the work stays relevant and practical.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking to confirm which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people link therapeutic tasks into their routine and try techniques between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can support this practical way of working and will help adapt exercises and discussions to suit how you prefer to meet.
