Background and approach

Surjeet adapts the way she works to each person. She listens first, then shapes sessions to meet practical goals. Her approach aims to make sessions clear, manageable and focused on small steps that add up.

Her toolkit draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused work when people want help finding immediate, practical changes. Conversations are straightforward and centred on the person's priorities.

People who choose Surjeet tend to want a calm, respectful space to talk and to work on concrete problems. She helps clients break big problems into smaller tasks and build routines that support steady progress. Taking the first step is acknowledged as difficult, and much of the work is about practical next steps.

How therapy approaches translate to online support

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how past connections affect present feelings. It can help when relationship worries, trust or attachment issues are causing distress. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions; the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace to build confidence and clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will test methods and pick what fits best, adjusting as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.

Online work offers flexibility for different lives. Video calls give face-to-face contact when that is helpful, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit around busy days, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity, fit sessions around work and family commitments, and try different formats to see what feels most useful.
