   About Amreeta

   Amreeta Chapman-Aujayeb is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration and draws on a long training history in psychotherapy and counselling. She speaks English, French and Hindi which helps her work with people from varied cultural backgrounds.

   Amreeta began her pathway with a Masters in Clinical Psychology and later trained in therapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy. She is also undertaking doctoral-level study aimed at teaching counselling and psychotherapy in future academic work. Her background includes living and working in Mauritius, India and the UK, and she settled in the UK in 2002.

   In sessions she sees people with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and low self esteem. She also supports those affected by trauma and abuse and works with issues such as dissociation, co-dependency and problems that follow abusive relationships. Some people come for shorter, technique-focused work such as confidence building, sleep or fear reduction.

   Her approach blends Motivational Interviewing with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred listening and cognitive behaviour techniques. She helps clients understand what their symptoms might mean and works with them to set practical, achievable steps forward. The emphasis is on collaboration and clear goals rather than jargon.

   Amreeta aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be discussed. To begin she supports people to build a working alliance and then tailors sessions to match their needs and pace.

2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

   Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. In practice this means the counsellor asks open questions and reflects back what the person says so motivation becomes clearer. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and ongoing stress.
   
   Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that suit the situation. Sessions are collaborative and can be adjusted as understanding grows and priorities change.
   
   Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. If you need details about session types, please confirm current options before booking, as the therapist's formats are not specified here. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, easier attendance during a work break, or sessions without needing to be on camera depending on what the therapist offers. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, short practices and goal reviews to an online setting to help clients make steady progress.
