Poonam Jetha

Professional Profile

Hello!
My name is Poonam G Jetha, therapist working with Think CBT from CR8, CR0, EC3V & BS16. I am a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) with over 18 years of clinical experience in the NHS, private practice, and independent sectors. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy (BABCP), ensuring that I meet the highest standards of professional care. Throughout my career, I have accumulated over 8,500 hours of clinical practice, providing therapy to individuals facing a wide range of psychological challenges.

In addition to my existing qualifications, I am pursuing Therapist to Coach training (EMCC Associate Practitioner), due for completion in September 2026. I am also undertaking a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at the University of the West of England (UWE), due for completion in 2028, and I am BPS registered. I offer coaching and psychodynamic therapy alongside CBT and EMDR, enabling an integrative approach tailored to both therapeutic and personal development needs.

I am deeply committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, or work-related stress, I will work collaboratively with you to help you understand and address your difficulties, build coping strategies, and achieve greater emotional well-being.

My Approach to Therapy

I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Coaching to individuals experiencing a wide range of challenges. These evidence-based and insight-oriented approaches help clients address issues such as anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, low self-esteem, and major life transitions.

At the beginning of our work together, you’ll be invited to share your experiences at your own pace. Together, we will identify goals for therapy or coaching and work towards them collaboratively. My approach is client-centered, ensuring that therapy or coaching is always tailored to your unique needs, values, and aspirations.
