Trisha Poole

Trisha Poole is a BACP counsellor with over 24 years of practice. She combines practical coaching with psychotherapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and anger, and to find clearer direction in life. Her manner is grounded and empathetic, aimed at creating a straightforward space for people to talk things through.

She supports people dealing with loss, relationship difficulties, depression and work-related stress. Trisha also helps with sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, career questions and the strain of caregiving. Her experience includes long-term work with trauma, grief and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she blends approaches to match each person's needs. That might mean using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on values, or Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns. She also uses client-centred listening and elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy where feeling and connection are central.

Trisha offers life and executive coaching when someone prefers goal-focused work with clear steps and accountability. Coaching can sit alongside therapy depending on the person's aims. She describes her style as supportive, non-judgemental and practical, helping people move forward one step at a time.

She practices in the United Kingdom and works with clients who speak English. Trisha accepts international clients and encourages people new to therapy to ask questions about how sessions are planned and what to expect.

How core approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when anxiety, anger or avoidance get in the way of what matters day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and is useful for addressing unhelpful thinking patterns that feed stress, depression or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships shape emotional responses and can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and recurring relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That plan can change as progress is made, and the client helps decide which methods feel most helpful.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel by removing commute time. They can also allow quicker check-ins, shorter appointments when needed, and reduce the need to travel on difficult days. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make sessions practical and flexible so therapy fits into everyday life.
