About Neha
Neha Chahal is a counselling psychologist who uses emotionally-focused ways of working alongside other practical approaches. She draws on 14 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. Neha speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and practises from the United Kingdom.
Neha focuses on helping people understand difficult feelings and the patterns that keep them stuck. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and relationships, and combines this with cognitive and acceptance-based tools when helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to name what feels hard and try small changes that feel doable. Her work often covers self-esteem and confidence, coping with major life changes, and practical problems like sleeping difficulties and work stress. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, chronic illness or caregiver strain, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues.
Neha describes clients as the experts in their own story and offers a collaborative space to explore options. She helps people find steps that fit their life, whether that means short-term coping strategies or longer-term shifts in how they relate to themselves and others. Her background includes a professional registration with the HCPC, which is noted in her credentials.
People can expect straightforward, respectful conversations that focus on what matters to them and on small, practical steps forward.

Online support
How emotion-focused and practical therapies work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and understand strong feelings and how those feelings shape relationships and behaviour. Online sessions let a counsellor guide you to name emotions and try new ways of relating, which can reduce distress over time.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills to notice thoughts without getting caught up in them and to take actions that reflect your values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by focusing on what matters and small, consistent steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk things through with you and decide together which methods suit your goals and situation. That collaborative process helps set realistic steps and adjusts the plan as you try different strategies.
Online therapy lets you use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging depending on what fits your life. Video is useful for a more face-to-face feel, phone calls can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, and messaging works for brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on progress.
