Background and approach

Sessions aim to build trust and confidence so people can talk about what worries them and begin to make changes at their own pace. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at unhelpful thinking and coping patterns.

That approach is used to help with problems such as persistent worry, panic and low mood by identifying small, practical changes people can try between sessions. In addition, Sukhbinder brings psychodynamic ideas into the work to notice repeated life patterns and where they may come from.

She balances this with solution-focused methods that help set clear, achievable goals and track progress along the way. Her experience includes work with people affected by trauma, domestic and sexual violence, and with those living with grief, low self-esteem and eating or body image concerns.

She asks clients to be active collaborators in choosing strategies that suit them, and she aims to restore a sense of strength, choice and everyday wellbeing. Practical details are handled through an online subscription service that allows sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sukhbinder works in English and does not accept international clients.

How her approaches work online

Sukhbinder combines person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people tackling anxiety and low mood. Person-centred work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can talk openly about what is worrying them. Cognitive behavioural work looks at unhelpful thinking and practises small behavioural experiments to reduce panic, worry and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. She will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the balance of listening, reflection and practical exercises as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful when face-to-face style contact matters, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and short live chat or messaging can fit into busy days or be used for quick check-ins. These formats make it easier to slot therapy into work, caring responsibilities or travel without commuting.
