Jaswinder is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Punjabi.

Background and approach
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to make the space feel calm so people can talk through hard things. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs.
Jaswinder has four years of professional experience and holds an NCPS credential. Her background includes supporting people affected by domestic violence and addiction, and she has worked with clients facing health anxiety, social anxiety and challenges at work. She also supports people with more specific concerns such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, body image and chronic illness-related stress.
Jaswinder uses a mixture of approaches including Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to adapt to different needs. If someone prefers online contact, Jaswinder offers a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. She encourages a first step of completing a short questionnaire to match needs and schedule a suitable time.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments and behaviour changes; it often suits worry, social anxiety and health anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating and feeling safer with others.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jaswinder works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through exercises in real time. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between meetings and suit people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while using the approaches described above.
