   About Preeti

   Preeti Bath is a BACP counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people facing hard life moments. She offers short-term and longer-term work and aims to make therapy understandable and manageable. Preeti knows change can feel daunting and works to make first steps easier to take.

   In sessions she draws on different ways of working to match what each person needs. That might include Motivational Interviewing to support change, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts, or emotionally-focused ideas to help with relationship and intimacy concerns. She explains methods plainly and uses exercises when they help.

   Preeti supports people with worries such as stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also works with grief, relationship difficulties, parenting strains, trauma and issues around identity and intimacy. Additional focus areas include attachment questions, body image, communication problems and coping with life changes.

   Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She aims to listen first, then offer practical steps tailored to each person's goals. Sessions include talking, reflective questions and structured tasks when useful.

   Preeti practices in the United Kingdom and communicates in English. She accepts international clients. Before booking, people should confirm the available session formats to find what fits their routine and needs.

2. How these approaches translate to online work

   Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on listening, asking open questions and drawing out a person's own motivation for things like health, behaviour or life goals.
   
   Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical steps and simple exercises to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try out small changes in everyday life.
   
   Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to emotional experience in relationships. It helps people name and share feelings more clearly, which can ease conflict and improve closeness when that is a goal.
   
   Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will work together with the person to choose methods based on their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine approaches as the work progresses.
   
   If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking since they are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and let people join from another location. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy while travelling or when arranging sessions around work and family commitments.
