Jatinder Purwaha

Jatinder Purwaha is a counsellor with 32 years of professional experience who often works with men concerned about stress, anxiety and life changes. He speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi and aims to make early conversations plain and straightforward for people feeling overwhelmed. Many who get in touch are dealing with grief, trauma, depression or major adjustment strains and want a calm space to start talking.

He uses a mix of practical talking approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy are regular tools he draws on to help people spot patterns, try manageable changes and build coping skills. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas guide how he listens and addresses relationship patterns.

Jatinder describes his way of working as collaborative and steady. Sessions focus on what someone wants to change, clear steps they can try between meetings, and checking what helps most. He aims to reduce shame and make difficult memories easier to handle rather than rush past them.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which appears in his listed credentials as BACP. This indicates his professional membership in the UK context.

People often contact him about specific issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, communication problems, or the aftermath of abuse. He also recognises complex presentations including dissociation, impulsivity and intellectual disability and tailors the pace of work accordingly.
