Background and approach

He helps people talk through trauma and abuse, grief and loss, eating and mood difficulties, and challenges linked to autism and ADHD. His approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means the focus is on the person's own experiences and goals. Sessions are tailored to what the person brings, rather than a fixed programme.

Sanjay also uses psychological theory to help people make sense of patterns and reactions in their life. People can expect calm, practical conversation. Sanjay offers tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and to build clearer routines and coping skills.

He also supports people exploring identity, purpose and relationships as they work through change. Based in the United Kingdom, Sanjay works in English and offers online and face-to-face options. He aims to create a caring space where someone can start to understand what they need and take small steps forward.

How client-centred practice translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully and follows the person's pace, helping them name feelings and priorities. This approach can help with anxiety, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns by making space for honest talk and personal choice.

Sanjay also draws on psychological ideas to help people recognise patterns in their thinking and behaviour. These concepts are used gently to make sense of reactions to stress, trauma or life change. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which ideas to try and which to set aside as therapy progresses.

Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expressions and tone. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text work well for check-ins, brief reflections and when someone prefers written communication. Together the therapist and client choose formats and pacing that suit the person's goals and day-to-day life.
