About Parule
BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' clinical experience. Parule Basu-Barua works mainly with trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, anxiety, depression and addictions, helping people who are negotiating stress, sleep problems, ADHD and life changes.
She uses client-centred approaches alongside mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. Trauma-focused methods are also part of her practice. Parule writes that she sets aside rigid labels to focus on each person's situation and history.
Parule completed a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in London and earned a degree from The Metanoia Institute with a 2:1 (Hons). She is listed with the BACP and is studying for a master's at King's College, London in Neuroscience and Psychology.
Before training as a counsellor she worked in television and media for over 20 years in the UK and USA at senior level. Those roles shaped her communication skills and inform how she connects with people in sessions.
In practice she aims to build an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement. She encourages people to look beyond diagnostic labels and to understand the patterns that sustain distress. The work typically focuses on improving day-to-day coping, regulating mood, and addressing the roots of problematic behaviours.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Parule uses Client-Centred Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy within her online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective, with the counsellor listening, reflecting and helping the person make sense of their feelings and choices. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the effects of traumatic experiences and aims to reduce their ongoing impact on mood and behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit the client's goals, preferences and the issues they bring. That collaborative conversation often shapes how sessions proceed in the following weeks.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm available session formats before booking. In general, online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week, make it easier to join from different locations and allow shorter check-ins when people need them. Registered or accredited professionals adapt exercises, breathing practices and reflective conversation to work over distance so that practical coping skills and emotional understanding can progress between sessions.
