Chirayu Goyal, BACP

Chirayu Goyal is a BACP counsellor with three years of professional experience. He helps people facing identity concerns, relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, depression and grief. He also supports clients dealing with body-image, confidence and self-esteem worries, and the impacts of trauma and abuse.

Chirayu aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. He adapts conversation and planning to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and move at a pace they find comfortable.

His background includes work around family difficulties and communication problems. He also pays attention to attachment issues, blended family concerns and the challenges that come with separation or divorce. He can help people sort through feelings of guilt, shame, emptiness and isolation.

The approach in sessions draws on a range of methods to suit different needs. Dialog may include looking at personal stories, emotional patterns and practical skills to manage stress or anxiety. The aim is to make changes that feel manageable in day-to-day life.

Chirayu offers therapy in English and Hindi and accepts clients internationally. He welcomes the step of starting therapy and works collaboratively to build a plan that fits each person's goals and circumstances.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and creating a supportive space. It helps people talk through feelings, find their own solutions and build confidence. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change, teaching skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication, which can help with anxiety, intense emotions and relationship struggles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in close relationships to improve connection and understanding between partners or in how someone relates to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods that match their goals and preferences. That decision evolves as therapy progresses and as practical needs become clearer.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not state specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people access someone who speaks English or Hindi even if they are in a different country.
