About Trisha
Trisha Poole offers a grounded, empathic approach that helps people find direction during difficult times. She has 24 years of experience and practises in ways that recognise each person's unique situation. Trisha is a BACP therapist - Registered Member MBACP (Accred).
She works in English and accepts international clients. Many people come to her for anxiety, stress, depression, grief and addiction-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy issues, parenting stress and career or life changes.
How Trisha works
Practical problems such as sleep, eating and anger are part of her focus as well. Trisha mixes goal-focused work like life and executive coaching with psychotherapy when that suits someone. Sessions may include mindfulness, reflective conversation and techniques drawn from cognitive and emotion-focused approaches.
The aim is to help a person see what matters, set realistic steps and practise new ways of coping. Her style is straightforward and non-judgmental. She helps people make sense of confusing or painful experiences and plan next steps.
Where needed, she explores attachment patterns and how past losses affect present choices. Over more than two decades she has supported people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and identity questions, and workplace pressures. She tailors work to the person rather than applying a single method, and can shift between coaching and therapy depending on the goals discussed.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps towards them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression and life changes by making everyday choices more meaningful.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions and attachment patterns affect relationships and self-understanding. It supports people who want to understand why they react the way they do and to build more supported emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and practical needs, and then agree together which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It may reduce time spent commuting and can allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the current options before booking so you know what is offered. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to provide reflective conversation, coaching-style goal work and exercises that you can practise between meetings.
