About Amreeta

Amreeta Chapman-Aujayeb is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Her biography records additional focus on issues such as abandonment, body image, codependency and dissociation.

She trained originally with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and later moved into therapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy. She is also undertaking doctorate-level training aimed at a career in teaching counselling and psychotherapy. Her background includes living and working in Mauritius, India and England, and she speaks English, French and Hindi.

Amreeta has experience with complex trauma and the effects of abusive relationships, and with short-term, technique-based work for concerns like confidence, sleep and anxiety. She frames symptoms as signals that can come from recent stress or long-standing experiences, and she helps people understand what those signals might mean for them.

Her approach draws on a range of therapeutic models so sessions can include practical techniques as well as relational work. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that explores symptoms, practical blocks and patterns that keep problems repeating.

People who choose her often want direct help with managing strong feelings and with clearer ways to cope day to day. She encourages straightforward conversation about what is difficult and works with clients to plan achievable steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and small actions that matter. It can help when guilt or shame leads to avoidance and stuck patterns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and repetitive self-critical thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. This is a collaborative process and can include trying different techniques to see what helps in day-to-day life.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which online options are offered here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can be slotted into a lunch break or between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals will explain practical arrangements when you book and help decide what will work for you.
