About Trisha
Trisha Poole is a BACP counsellor with 24 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. Her approach includes coaching and mindfulness elements when appropriate.
She explains problems in plain terms and helps people make sense of difficult situations. Sessions often look at what is happening now and what practical steps might help. If someone prefers a goal-oriented route, she can include life or executive coaching with accountability and clear objectives.
Trisha describes her method as flexible rather than fixed. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thinking and on emotion-focused work for relationship and intimacy issues. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how past relationships shape current patterns.
People bring many concerns, from grief and trauma to sleep or eating struggles. She also notes work-related stress, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue as common topics. The emphasis is on practical ways to cope and on clarifying priorities so decisions feel more manageable.
Her way of working is collaborative. She adapts techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred practice to reflect each person’s preferences. That means sessions may combine talking, goal-setting and mindfulness depending on what the person needs.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting stuck. It can help with anxiety, stress and issues where avoidance is a problem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce distress and build different habits. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods with the client based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter phone check-in can slot into a lunch break, or video sessions remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT, CBT and attachment-based work to remote appointments, using talking, practical exercises and mindfulness practices to support progress.
