Snigdha Jindal

Snigdha Jindal is a counsellor and psychotherapist who blends person-centred care with cognitive and psychodynamic ideas. She draws on four years of international experience and offers a calm, attentive presence for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and bipolar challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Hindi. Snigdha is based in Aberdeen, United Kingdom, and holds BACP registration.

Her working style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to listen closely and help people make sense of what they are living through. Conversations focus on practical steps alongside looking at deeper patterns, so clients can try things out between sessions and notice what changes.

Snigdha trained in person-centred counselling with an MSc from the University of Aberdeen and has degrees in clinical psychology from India. She integrates elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic approaches, and trauma-informed care to suit each person she meets. This mix helps with both immediate coping and longer-term understanding.

Her clinical experience includes working with NHS staff, immigrants, asylum seekers, and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. She supports people dealing with work stress, grief, low self-esteem, identity concerns, and family or relationship problems. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and complex relational patterns including codependency and communication problems.

Snigdha volunteers locally with organisations supporting those affected by trauma and discrimination, and she continues regular supervision and personal therapy. Outside work she practises mindfulness, walks by the River Dee, and enjoys cooking with family and friends.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening closely and offering an empathic, non-judgemental space. It helps people feel heard, clarify their needs, and move at a pace that feels manageable. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress.

Psychodynamic ideas bring attention to recurring life patterns and past experiences that affect current relationships and emotions. When trauma is involved, a trauma-informed stance prioritises safety, pacing and grounding strategies so people can work through difficult memories more steadily.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. That might mean trying practical CBT techniques for short-term relief, while also exploring deeper patterns with person-centred or psychodynamic work over time.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers flexibility for people living abroad who want to work in English or Hindi with a UK-based BACP-registered practitioner.
