Snigdha Jindal, BACP

Snigdha Jindal is a bilingual counsellor and psychotherapist who blends Person-Centred work with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. She brings four years of international experience and offers a calm, attentive presence for people wanting to talk through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and bipolar concerns.

Snigdha bases her practice in Aberdeen, United Kingdom, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She trained with an MSc in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Aberdeen and holds a dual Bachelor’s and Master’s in Clinical Psychology from India.

In sessions she focuses on listening closely and helping people make sense of difficult experiences. She uses person-centred principles to build a respectful space and draws on CBT strategies and psychodynamic thinking when helpful. Trauma-informed care is woven into her work with people who have experienced abuse or violence.

Her experience includes supporting NHS professionals, immigrants, asylum seekers, and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse with issues such as grief, low self-esteem, work stress and identity concerns. Snigdha keeps her practice reflective through regular supervision and ongoing professional development.

Outside the therapy room she volunteers locally and values mindfulness, riverside walks, cooking and time with family. If someone is ready to start, she asks them to use the site’s Start Therapy button to begin the matching process and schedule sessions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Snigdha combines Person-Centred principles with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic thinking. Person-Centred work focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel understood so they can find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves noticing and gently changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. Psychodynamic ideas help people spot repeated patterns that affect relationships and self-image.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which ideas and techniques suit a person’s goals and preferences. That choice may shift as sessions continue, and the person’s feedback helps shape the plan.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats when you book since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow people to meet from different locations, including internationally. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and options that do not require being on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively in remote sessions, helping people make steady progress without changing the core therapeutic relationship.
