About PJ

PJ Sangalang is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. He speaks English and Tagalog and works with people who are wondering about life purpose, feeling isolated, or dealing with workplace and communication problems. He aims to hear each person’s story and understand how their background shapes their experience.

PJ uses a human-centred stance that puts the client’s perspective first. He listens and reflects, then works collaboratively to set small, realistic goals.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of jargon. The focus is on making everyday life feel more manageable. He draws on Systemic Therapy to look at how relationships and patterns influence difficulties.

He also uses Client-Centred techniques to ensure people feel heard, and Existential ideas to help with questions about meaning and direction. Motivational Interviewing helps when people are unsure about making changes. PJ has three years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

That connection reflects a commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. He has worked with people from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, including migrants and members of the BAME community. Sessions are offered online in several formats, which makes fitting counselling into a busy life easier.

He aims to create a respectful, boundaried space where clients can speak honestly, try new ways of relating, and work toward clearer choices.

Online support

How PJ’s approaches work online

Systemic Therapy looks at how patterns between people shape problems. Online sessions can help map those patterns by talking through relationship habits, roles and recurring conflicts, and by testing new ways of interacting.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. In remote sessions the therapist offers open listening and reflection so clients can explore feelings and build self-understanding at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. PJ will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest which ideas to try first. That plan can change as the work progresses so clients stay involved in deciding what helps most.

Online counselling offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read visual cues and work in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit quick check-ins or days when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text messaging support shorter reflections or ongoing check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or study commitments, and to keep talking when travel or schedules make in-person meetings hard.
