PJ Sangalang

PJ Sangalang is a BACP-registered counsellor with three years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, depression and life purpose questions. He also supports people facing workplace pressure, communication or commitment issues, loneliness, and the effects of prejudice and multicultural adjustment.

PJ uses a human-centred style that puts the person's experience at the centre of sessions. He listens to each story and helps people talk through what they notice about their feelings and choices. Conversations aim to be straightforward and practical, not full of jargon.

His approach draws on client-centred and existential ideas alongside motivational interviewing and systemic thinking. That means he pays attention to personal values and meaning, readiness for change, and the influence of relationships and family of origin on current patterns. Sessions usually focus on what matters most to the person in front of him.

PJ has personal experience as an immigrant and as a member of the BAME community, and he works with people from a range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. He offers sessions in English and Tagalog, and he accepts international clients.

Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.

How PJ’s approaches shape online sessions

PJ commonly blends client-centred, existential and motivational interviewing ideas when working online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says, helping them notice feelings and choices more clearly. It suits people who want to be heard and to build understanding of themselves.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values and the choices people face. It can help when someone is questioning purpose after a life change or feeling stuck in midlife. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to explore readiness for change and to set small, practical steps toward goals.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. He will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That decision can change as work continues and new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals like PJ aim to adapt session length and focus to fit everyday life and practical constraints.
