About Trisha

Trisha Poole is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people find direction and cope with difficult times. She has 24 years of practice and offers calm, grounded support for those feeling lost, anxious or overwhelmed. Trisha also includes coaching work when clients want goal-focused help with clear steps and accountability.

She helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship problems. Other areas she supports include grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping and eating difficulties, self-esteem and career worries. Trisha also works with people dealing with trauma, ADHD, compassion fatigue and the stresses of caregiving.

Her approach blends simple, evidence-based methods so conversations are straightforward and useful. Sessions combine listening, practical tools and collaborative planning to help people manage emotions and make changes. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused approaches alongside attachment-informed work.

Trisha explains options clearly so people know what to expect from therapy or coaching. She offers a calm presence and helps clients set small, achievable steps. Her style is supportive and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people move forward in everyday life.

She works from the United Kingdom and is a BACP member, listed as BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP (Accred). Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Trisha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and commit to small actions that match those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments that shift mood and behaviour. Attachment-Based ideas inform her work on relationship patterns and intimacy issues by looking at how early connections influence current responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Trisha will talk through different methods and tailor sessions to a person’s goals and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan can change as progress is made.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to maintain regular sessions and to practise tools between meetings when therapy fits around everyday routines.
