About Neha

Neha Chahal is a counsellor who uses evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and life transitions. She works with adults on issues such as grief, low self-esteem, depression and parenting concerns. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and practises from the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience and registration with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council).

Her work begins by listening. She treats each person as knowledgeable about their own life and builds on existing strengths.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to make small, practical changes that feel possible between appointments. Neha frames progress as a series of manageable steps rather than big immediate fixes. Neha draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy.

She uses these methods to help with anxious thoughts, relationship patterns and difficult feelings linked to loss or change. Conversations typically focus on practical tools and clearer ways to act in line with personal values. Parents often come for help with boundaries, communication and juggling competing demands.

Neha offers coaching-style support alongside counselling to help people set realistic goals and practise new habits in day-to-day life. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client. People who prefer different contact methods can work with her through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging.

The initial step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that suits the client’s availability.

Online support

Using focused therapeutic methods in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and move toward actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress and situations where values feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with low mood, sleep problems and repetitive worry. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, helping people understand and change repeating dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan together based on the client's goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the person feels ready for, with regular reviews to check progress and adjust methods if needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow a fuller conversation and visual connection, while phone calls can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, written reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
