About Trisha

Trisha Poole is a counsellor with 24 years of experience who blends practical techniques with a warm, grounded manner. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. She also offers support around relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes including disasters.

People come to her when they feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. She frames sessions around the client’s goals and day-to-day needs. That can mean short-term coaching to meet a specific aim, or more open-ended psychotherapy to work through deeper patterns.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building emotional awareness. Techniques may include mindfulness, values work, and strategies to shift unhelpful behaviour patterns.

Trisha has particular experience supporting people facing trauma, loss and major life changes. She lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among her focus areas and can help people make sense of shock, grief and practical next steps after disruptive events.

She is a BACP therapist - Registered Member MBACP (Accred) and works in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. If someone prefers goal-focused work, coaching options are available alongside therapy.

How therapy approaches are used online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction, even when difficult feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with big life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and shift how they connect with others. It can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaboration helps match practical techniques to the client’s situation and pace.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people access a therapist from a different region or country who has the relevant experience for issues such as trauma, grief or coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
