Trisha Poole, BACP

Trisha Poole is a counsellor who combines practical thinking and everyday habits with compassionate support. She uses straightforward methods to help people make sense of a difficult period. Her approach is calm and grounded, and she listens carefully to what each person brings to the room.

With 24 years of experience Trisha helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, intimacy issues and work-related pressure. Coaching is available for people who prefer goal-focused sessions and clear accountability.

Trisha draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work. She adapts sessions to the needs of the person and may combine methods to suit the situation. Sessions often focus on small, achievable habit changes and on practical steps to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related worries. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, body image and chronic health challenges. The aim is to make therapy feel relevant and usable in everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and values, and to take small actions that align with what matters. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people develop practical ways to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the person's own pace of change, offering a steady space for people to talk things through.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the person's goals and preferences. Sessions can blend methods so the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.

The original biography does not list which online formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy routine, such as shorter check-ins around work breaks, or sessions that avoid travel time. Online work can make it easier to focus on habit changes and to try out tools between meetings, and therapists who are registered or accredited can help tailor the practical setup to each person's circumstances.
