About PJ

PJ Sangalang specialises in helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports individuals dealing with relationship worries, family tension, and life transitions. PJ speaks English and Tagalog and works with people from diverse backgrounds.

He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. PJ listens to each person's story and focuses on what matters to them. Sessions aim to be conversational and practical.

Background and approach

He offers a calm, steady presence and encourages people to notice how their life experiences shape their thoughts and feelings. His counselling draws on humanistic ideas that put the person at the centre. That means working at the client’s pace and responding to what feels most useful in the moment.

He also brings in existential thinking to help people reflect on meaning, choice and purpose. PJ uses motivational interviewing to support change and Systemic Therapy ideas to look at relationship patterns and family of origin issues. In sessions he offers a mix of listening, gentle challenge and practical reflection.

The focus is on real-life steps that fit each person’s situation. With three years of experience, PJ aims to create a respectful and boundaried space. He encourages openness, curiosity and honesty, and works collaboratively to help people find clearer direction and better day-to-day coping.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities. Online sessions using this approach tend to be warm and conversational and are useful for people who want to feel heard and understood while working through stress or low self-esteem.

Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice and responsibility. Delivered remotely, these conversations help people facing life direction questions, midlife concerns or a sense of isolation to think through values and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. PJ will collaborate with each person to identify which methods suit their needs and goals, and adapt over time if something isn't working. The choice of approach is made together, based on what the client wants to address and how they prefer to work.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or family life while keeping the focus on progress and connection with a registered or accredited professional.
