About Surjeet
Surjeet Bahra is a counsellor with 15 years of experience supporting people in the United Kingdom. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and issues with motivation. She also helps people dealing with relationship and family difficulties, grief, addiction and problems with sleep and eating.
She uses practical, talk-based methods and adapts her approach to each person. Conversations are shaped around what matters to the client and what they want to change.
Background and approach
She aims to be respectful and compassionate in every session. Surjeet draws on approaches that focus on how people relate to themselves and others, and on skills to manage thoughts and behaviours. She can help with coping strategies for life changes and with planning small steps that build confidence.
When addiction or strong emotions are present, she helps people find manageable ways forward. Her work includes attention to attachment and communication patterns. That can be useful for people facing commitment, codependency or blended family difficulties.
She also supports those dealing with feelings such as guilt, shame or emptiness. Sessions can be scheduled around the client and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Surjeet speaks English and accepts international clients who prefer online therapy formats.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships. It helps people understand their emotional reactions and improve communication in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioural experiments. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try out methods and adjust the plan based on what helps in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
