Preeti Bath, BACP

Preeti Bath is a BACP counsellor with three years' experience. She describes herself as an integrative therapist and offers both short-term and long-term counselling. Preeti works with individuals and couples to talk through what matters most to them, including everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of feeling better.

She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Preeti also helps people facing grief, career change, parenting pressures and issues around intimacy. Her wider interests include attachment, body image, communication trouble, and challenges linked to adoption and foster care.

Preeti uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and everyday habits, Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship patterns, and mindfulness ideas to help people manage difficult feelings. She explains things plainly and works at a pace the client finds manageable.

Sessions aim to be practical and conversational. Preeti helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new ways of responding, and set small goals between sessions. She offers both shorter problem-focused work and longer therapy when deeper exploration is needed.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. Preeti recognises that starting therapy can feel daunting and she focuses on clear steps so clients know what to expect as they begin.

How therapy approaches work online

Preeti often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes in day-to-day habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress by breaking larger problems into manageable steps.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how emotions shape interactions. EFT-style work helps partners and individuals identify recurring cycles and try new ways of responding to one another.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods over time rather than sticking to a single style.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking so they fit your needs. Many people find remote work easier to fit into busy days, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. Discuss practical arrangements and scheduling with the counsellor when you start so sessions sit well alongside everyday life.
