About Rupinder
Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, addictions, low self-esteem and mood problems. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Punjabi for people inside and outside the United Kingdom.
Rimpy aims to make it easier to talk about painful memories or strong feelings. She creates a calm space where people can practise naming emotions and try out new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided and paced to suit each person's needs. Her style blends attachment-based thinking with client-centred listening and practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy. That mix is used to look at patterns in relationships, unhelpful thoughts and everyday reactions to stress.
The work can include exploring childhood ties, examining current relationship dynamics, and learning skills to reduce anxiety or manage mood swings. Sessions may focus on problem-solving for parenting and workplace stress, coping with bereavement, or handling panic attacks and trauma-related reactions. Rimpy also offers support around issues such as codependency, control, guilt, forgiveness and intimacy-related concerns.
She has practised for 13 years and adapts the pace to what each person needs. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Therapy is arranged weekly and can be short term or longer term depending on goals.
Approaches that shape online counselling
Rimpy often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships still shape feelings and reactions today. This approach helps when relationship patterns, abandonment fears or attachment issues make people feel stuck. She also uses client-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can explore their own solutions.She brings cognitive behavioural techniques into sessions to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. CBT tools are useful for managing day-to-day anxiety, panic attacks and stress by teaching new coping skills and changing thought patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rimpy collaborates with each person to agree what to try first and adjusts methods as progress is made. Goals, preferences and what feels most helpful guide the plan, and this is reviewed regularly.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier if you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to keep weekly appointments and fit therapy around work and family commitments.
