About Parule
Parule Basu-Barua works from a client-centred approach that puts each person’s experience first. She uses listening and gentle exploration to help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and addictive behaviours. Her style is plain and direct so conversations are easy to follow during difficult moments.
She has five years of clinical practice and more than 1,500 clinical hours. Parule has a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a degree from The Metanoia Institute, where she earned a 2:1 honours. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She is also studying for a master’s at King’s College London in Neuroscience and Psychology.
Parule often supports people whose trauma or abuse has led to depression, anxiety or addictions. She also works with a range of eating difficulties including anorexia, atypical anorexia and bulimia, and looks at how addictive patterns can surround eating problems. Other areas she addresses include ADHD, sleep problems, panic, obsessions and compulsions, body image and sexuality.
Her background in television and media informs her way of relating. She draws on years of experience connecting with people in pressured settings to build trust quickly. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her rather than fitting a label.
Parule aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful memories and present struggles. She works collaboratively to find practical steps and coping strategies that suit the person’s life and goals.
How Parule’s approaches translate to online therapy
Parule combines client-centred work with trauma-focused and mindfulness-informed ideas. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s lead to help them feel heard and understood. It is useful for people who need a calm space to talk through difficult feelings.Trauma-focused work looks at how past hurt affects day-to-day life and uses careful, paced conversations to reduce distress. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices into sessions to help with anxiety, stress and sleep problems by training notice and calm in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Parule will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods might help most. Plans can change as therapy progresses, and she works alongside people to find what fits best.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, conversations and mindfulness practices to suit remote sessions while keeping the focus on practical support and gradual change.
