ARPITA GHOSAL is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on four years of professional experience to support people through grief, anxiety and low self-esteem. She works in English and also speaks Bengali, Hindi and Urdu. Her approach treats each person as the expert on their own story and builds on their existing strengths.

She helps people who are facing bereavement, life changes and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with trauma, panic attacks, body image concerns and social anxiety.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps to manage difficult feelings and regain a sense of control. Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens for what matters most and then uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas to help people make clearer choices.

Work may include noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying small different actions, and reflecting on patterns in close relationships. Clients can expect straightforward language and short-term goals when that fits, or a slower exploration when deeper issues are present. She pays attention to emotions and to how people connect with themselves and others.

Therapy sessions can cover parenting stresses, career uncertainty, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and building self-love. The aim is to leave people with clearer ways to cope and more confidence in handling future challenges.

Online approaches that focus on values and relationships

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes by helping someone take small, meaningful steps despite difficult feelings.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people understand cycles in close relationships and work on changing repeated patterns that cause distress.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood. Through empathic listening, people often feel safer to explore difficult feelings and find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person’s needs, goals and preferences and then suggest what to try first. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and access regular support from registered or accredited professionals.
