About Trisha

Trisha Poole is a counsellor with 24 years of experience who blends practical coaching with psychotherapy. She uses clear, down-to-earth language to help people who feel lost, anxious, or overwhelmed. Trisha works with grief, addictions, relationship concerns and life changes in a calm and grounded way.

She tailors sessions to each person. Some people want focused, goal-oriented coaching. Others prefer an open-ended therapeutic conversation. Trisha combines approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work to match the client's needs.

A typical session involves listening first, then setting small, workable steps. She uses mindfulness and life-coaching skills to help people reconnect with purpose and rhythm. Practical strategies for sleep, eating, work stress and day-to-day coping are part of the work.

Trisha has worked across many issues including trauma, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, ageing concerns and caring roles. She also supports people with intimacy issues, ADHD, body image and career transitions. The focus is on what helps now and what can change over time.

She is a BACP therapist - Registered Member MBACP (Accred) and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be supported. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then commit to actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, coping with life changes and when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses clear strategies to change patterns that add to distress. This can help with sleep problems, low mood and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can be helpful for intimacy and trust issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. You and the therapist decide together which techniques suit your situation and adjust them as needed.

The original biography does not list specific online or in-person session formats, so please confirm available options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions make it simpler to keep continuity during illness, caring responsibilities or work commitments. Registered and accredited professionals can discuss how to structure sessions so they fit your daily routine.
