Background and approach

Her background includes eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. This experience has seen her support people coping with grief, trauma, anger and addiction-related issues as well as concerns about self-esteem and body image.

Rajbinder speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, which she uses to help people express difficult feelings in the language they prefer. She works with people facing complex life changes such as separation, adoption and foster care matters, and challenges tied to attachment and abandonment. In the room she keeps language plain and practical.

Conversations focus on what matters most to each person and on small, realistic steps forward. She also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and compassion fatigue for those in helping roles.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by encouraging small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear techniques to test assumptions and change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, stress and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and can help with attachment issues, abandonment worries and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people write when it suits them and can be easier to fit around busy days. Many people find online formats help them keep therapy consistent while juggling family, work and daily life.
