ARPITA GHOSAL

Arpita Ghosal is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She draws on four years of professional experience to help people facing grief, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety. She encourages clients to see themselves as the experts of their own story and to build on existing strengths. Taking a first step feels hard, and she offers steady support through that process.

Her style is warm and person-centred. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and practical steps they can try between sessions. She uses tools from cognitive behavioural work to look at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. She also uses emotion-focused ideas to help people connect with their feelings and attachment-based perspectives to look at how relationships shape current struggles.

Arpita works with a wide range of concerns including relationships, parenting, career issues, coping with life changes, and trauma-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with body image, guilt and shame, and panic attacks. Sessions aim to build clearer coping strategies and more self-compassion over time.

She offers sessions in English, Bengali, Hindi and Urdu. Arpita accepts clients internationally and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Arpita’s approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and getting unstuck when life feels difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and learning simple experiments to change them. This can help with panic, low mood and social anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and expectations, which can be helpful for intimacy issues and relationship conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust them as needed, so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also lets people work with a therapist who speaks English, Bengali, Hindi or Urdu, even if they live elsewhere. Because the exact session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking. The focus is on practical, manageable steps that can be discussed and practised in regular sessions to help people cope better in everyday life.
