About Snigdha

Snigdha Jindal is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). She has four years of international experience and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, bipolar and depression.

She trained with an MSc in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Aberdeen and holds bachelor and master degrees in Clinical Psychology from India. Her practice brings together person-centred ideas with elements of cognitive behavioural approaches and psychodynamic work, plus trauma-informed ways of working.

In sessions she listens and responds at a measured pace. Conversations focus on what feels most difficult now, and on small steps that help people feel steadier. She has experience supporting people affected by domestic and sexual abuse, as well as those working in health services and people who have moved country.

Snigdha works in line with the BACP ethical framework and continues with clinical supervision and personal therapy. She offers therapy in English and Hindi and is based in Aberdeen, Scotland while accepting international clients.

Outside of clinical work she volunteers with local organisations supporting people affected by trauma and discrimination. She also practices mindfulness, goes for riverside walks, and enjoys cooking and spending time with family.

Approach and how online sessions can fit around life

Person-Centred counselling focuses on a listening relationship that helps people make sense of what matters to them and to feel better able to make choices. This approach suits people who want a space to talk without pressure and to be heard as they work through guilt, shame or relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioural elements look at patterns of thinking and behaviour and try practical adjustments. These techniques can help when strong self-critical thoughts or unhelpful routines feed anxiety or low mood.

Psychodynamic ideas support looking at recurring patterns and the emotional roots of distress. This can be useful for people wanting to understand how past relationships influence present feelings of abandonment or emptiness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and will review this as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If being on camera is difficult, practical alternatives can be discussed to suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth situations.
