About Neha
Neha Chahal is a counselling psychologist registered with the HCPC. She draws on 14 years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Neha also helps people dealing with grief, family conflict, parenting strains and the practical fallout from major life changes.
She is able to work in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. Neha emphasises the person’s own strengths and knowledge of their life. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside close listening.
Background and approach
She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build coping skills and make small changes that add up over time. Her approach blends several therapies. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work with difficult feelings, and Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationships are central.
Neha adapts these methods to each person’s situation rather than following a fixed script. Over more than a decade she has seen a wide range of concerns, including trauma, sleep problems, chronic health challenges and issues around identity, including LGBT matters. She also supports people with career questions, caregiving stress and recovery after separation.
People who choose Neha can expect a down-to-earth, collaborative style. She helps set realistic goals and reviews progress regularly. To start, she asks people to tell their story and then together they decide what to try first.

Therapeutic approaches that transfer well to online work
Neha uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying practical changes to reduce distress and improve functioning. ACT helps people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most to the person, discuss options and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed regularly so the work can change as needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available formats before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow sessions during a busy day. It can also make shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling simpler to arrange. Confirm the session options when you book to make sure they match your needs.
