About ARPITA

Arpita Ghosal is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings four years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and difficult life changes. She believes clients know their own stories and helps them find the strengths already there.

Her approach is practical and centred on the person in front of her. Sessions often start with immediate concerns and simple steps to reduce distress.

Background and approach

Over time she helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and relationships that keep problems repeating. Arpita draws on a mix of talking therapy methods. She uses ideas from cognitive behavioural work to address unhelpful thinking, and attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships shape feelings.

She also uses client-centred ways of working so the session follows what the client needs. People come for a wide range of issues including relationship pain, parenting strain, career pressure, body image and trauma-related concerns. She also supports those facing panic attacks, social anxiety, guilt and grief after loss.

Her style is calm, direct and collaborative, aiming to make therapy useful from the first sessions. Sessions are offered in English, Bengali, Hindi and Urdu, and she works with international clients. Arpita is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

She encourages a first step of a short conversation to see if the match feels right.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions to live in line with those values, which suits issues like anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early or close relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in their relationships and build different ways of connecting, which can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and relationship strain.

Finding the best approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will ask about your goals, try out methods that fit your needs, and adapt as you progress so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and messaging or chat can suit brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people keep therapy going around work, family life and travel.
