Snigdha JindalBACP

Snigdha Jindal is a counsellor and psychotherapist who combines person-centred care with practical therapeutic methods. She offers a calm, attentive presence for people working through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and experiences of trauma. Sessions are offered in English and Hindi to suit bilingual clients. Snigdha draws on a background in clinical psychology and a Master of Science in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Aberdeen. Over four years she has worked internationally with a wide range of adults, including NHS staff, immigrants, asylum seekers, and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. This experience informs her sensitive approach to complex issues like grief, identity concerns, and long-term health challenges. In practice she uses person-centred principles alongside elements of cognitive behavioural approaches and psychodynamic thinking, tailoring each session to what the person needs. She aims to create space for people to talk at their own pace and to surface patterns that affect day-to-day life. Work often covers communication problems, commitment and control issues, attachment and abandonment themes, and the impact of chronic illness or pain. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical framework. Snigdha also volunteers locally with organisations supporting people affected by trauma and discrimination, and takes part in regular supervision and personal therapy to sustain reflective practice. Outside work she values mindfulness, riverside walks, cooking, and time with family. If you want to look at change, healing, or clearer ways of coping during pregnancy and childbirth transitions or other life stages, she can help you explore next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Person-centred practice focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means the therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace. This approach is helpful for people dealing with anxiety, low mood, and the emotional changes that can come with pregnancy and childbirth.

Cognitive behavioural ideas look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. The therapist may offer straightforward strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes that ease worry or improve daily routines. This can support stress, mood swings, and sleep difficulties around pregnancy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the person’s goals and preferences. That might mean focusing more on listening and understanding at first, then introducing practical skills later as needed.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around appointments, work and childcare. It can allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, reduce travel time, and let a person join from wherever they are located. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt person-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques to remote sessions so people can continue making progress even when meeting remotely.
