Dr Puja Patel
Health Psychologist

Hi, I am Dr Puja Patel a qualified Health Psychologist registered with the Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC) and a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I have a wealth of experience working in with clients individually, and with organisations for consultancy and training, including public and private sectors.I trained at the University of the West of England (UWE) undertaking the Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology and have a keen interest in supporting people to help understand how the mind and body are connected as one.

I work with a range of clients with gut related concerns such as IBS, IBD and chronic pain, fatigue, weight concerns, cardiovascular health, or anxiety disorders. I offer a safe space for you to explore the link between your mind, body and its connection, and provide you practical strategies and techniques to support you with your goals. In our sessions, there is always a direction for change.

My approach

I use a person-centred approach drawing upon a number of models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness based strategies, Psycho-education, coaching and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

The combination of health coaching, health education and therapeutic skills provides more autonomy and a partnership working alliance, to create more sustainable health goals and good habits that are suited specifically to you.
