Chirayu Goyal, BACP

Chirayu Goyal is a registered counsellor with three years of professional experience who works with people facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. He supports individuals dealing with identity and intimacy concerns, relationship and family conflict, grief and depression, body-image and self-esteem struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He approaches each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, adapting conversations and therapeutic plans to reflect each client’s particular needs and circumstances.

Chirayu aims to create a collaborative space where taking the first step into therapy is acknowledged as an act of courage. He tailors interventions to suit the pace and priorities of the person he is working with, drawing on established counselling methods to address communication difficulties, stress and anxiety, addictions, and issues related to attachment and family dynamics. He communicates in English and Hindi and is available to work with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Chirayu is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects his commitment to professional standards in counselling.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Chirayu draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to each person’s unique experience so they can explore feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving communication, and working through identity and relationship concerns.

He also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to teach practical skills for managing intense emotions, coping with stress, and reducing unhelpful patterns of behaviour. These skills can be useful for anxiety, addiction-related difficulties, and problems with emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chirayu works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify the best fit based on an individual’s goals, needs, and preferences, and he adapts methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across distances and time zones, support international clients, and provide choices for how to engage during different stages of therapy.
