PJ Sangalang, BACP

PJ Sangalang helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship strains. He also supports those dealing with family issues, commitment doubts, communication problems, guilt and shame, infidelity, loneliness, life purpose questions and workplace pressures. PJ speaks English and Tagalog and practises in the United Kingdom.

PJ listens to each person's story and pays attention to how they see their situation. He offers a consistent, boundaried space where people can talk things through without rush. His way of working aims to balance encouragement with gentle challenge so clients can try new ways of thinking or behaving.

He uses a human-centred outlook that focuses on the person rather than labels. PJ draws on client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the individual in the room. He also brings in existential ideas to help people consider meaning, choice and values when life feels confusing.

Motivational interviewing is part of his work when someone wants to change but feels stuck. Systemic ideas are used to look at how relationships and family of origin shape current problems. These methods are combined in practical conversations rather than technical lectures.

PJ has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which he lists as BACP. International clients are accepted. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's scheduling process.

How these approaches guide online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person. It helps with low self-esteem, anxiety and everyday relationship worries by making space to tell your story and build clarity. Existential Therapy asks questions about meaning, choice and values to help when life feels empty, aimless or full of doubt. It can be useful for midlife questions, purpose concerns and big life decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try first. This is a joint decision so the work can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time and let people join from wherever they are based. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and flexible scheduling that works around work or study commitments. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
