About Trisha
BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP (Accred). Trisha Poole has 24 years of counselling experience and works from the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, depression and grief, and she offers coaching for life and work-related goals.
Trisha describes her practice as practical and grounded. She uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred methods. She may blend methods to suit a person’s aims and preferences.
People come to her when they feel stuck, lost, or unsure how to move forward. She also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Additional focus areas include abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and care-related stress.
Her work can include life and executive coaching for those who want goal-focused sessions with accountability. In other cases she concentrates on talking therapies to help make sense of difficult experiences such as trauma, abuse or bereavement. Sessions involve exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviours and trying practical strategies for change.
Trisha accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site’s online counselling options button.
How Trisha uses ACT, CBT and attachment work online
Trisha often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on helping people act in line with their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings; it is useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it suits anxiety, depression and many everyday difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy considers relational patterns and how early relationships affect current intimacy and trust; it can help with relationship issues and attachment-related concerns.Deciding on an approach is part of the work. Trisha discusses goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she adapts the method as the counselling progresses. This is a collaborative process where the chosen approach may shift over time as needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since none are specified in her biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or caregiving responsibilities, and it can allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals can use online sessions to deliver the same therapeutic techniques as in-person work, such as guided exercises, verbal reflection and written tasks, while tailoring the pace to everyday life.
