Seetal Udeshi, BACP

Seetal Udeshi meets people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by life changes. She offers calm, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and grief. Seetal is also experienced with eating and body image concerns, trauma and abuse, and relationship or parenting strains. She works with people across LGBT issues and those managing long-term illness or chronic pain.

Seetal practises under the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. She trained to postgraduate level and holds a Postgraduate Diploma accredited by the BACP. She has eight years of professional experience and keeps up with continuing professional development and regular supervision.

Her way of working is person-centred, which means sessions focus on the client’s needs and pace. She draws on attachment ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods to suit the person in front of her. She also uses Jungian ideas and mindfulness when they help.

Sessions may include talking, reflective exercises and creative tools such as drawings to clarify feelings. Seetal aims to be non-judgemental and empathic, helping people to feel heard and regain a sense of themselves. She encourages practical steps alongside emotional work so change can happen between sessions.

People who want a steady, respectful counsellor for complex emotional issues often choose to start a conversation with her. If worries or life events are making daily life harder, she offers a space to talk them through and find clearer ways forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. Online sessions can help people notice how they connect and respond to others, and practice new ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. In an online conversation the counsellor listens, reflects and helps the client name feelings and priorities so they can make clearer choices.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts, feelings and actions link. These methods can be used in sessions to try small experiments, plan coping steps and track progress between meetings.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. This means the work can shift as needs change and the client learns what helps.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and keeping contact when travel is difficult. Video can allow face-to-face conversation, while live chat offers a quieter, text-based check-in; please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to keep regular sessions and try different rhythms until something works.
