Trisha Poole, BACP

Trisha Poole is a BACP counsellor with 24 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and work-related concerns, depression, grief, parenting strain and anger. She also supports people dealing with life changes and career decisions.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Trisha mixes practical tools and talking therapy so people can make clearer choices. She also offers coaching when clients want goal-oriented work with accountability.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused ideas alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. That means she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try different behaviours and pay attention to values that matter to them.

Trisha has particular experience with issues that overlap, such as chronic pain, caregiving stress, codependency and addiction. She also helps with intimacy-related concerns, body image, grief after loss and the effects of trauma and abuse. That breadth means people bring both immediate problems and longer-running difficulties to sessions.

Sessions are practical and paced to the person. Early meetings usually clarify what someone wants to change and agree simple next steps. For some people that looks like short-term coaching goals; for others it becomes longer psychotherapy to address deeper patterns.

People who are unsure what to expect often find the first few sessions useful for deciding whether to continue. Trisha works in English and accepts international clients, and she can help people find ways to manage anger and frustration that come up in daily life.
