   About Surjeet

   Surjeet Bahra is a counsellor with BACP registration and 15 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship tension and challenges linked to parenting and family life. She aims to offer calm, practical support and clear steps forward.

   Her approach is collaborative and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit to help people find their own reasons to change and stay motivated.

   Surjeet also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred principles to build a respectful, non-judgemental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy are used when practical strategies and short-term goals will help relieve symptoms and improve daily routines.

   Sessions are tailored to what each person needs. She pays attention to relationships, communication patterns and the effects of trauma, grief, addiction and life transitions. She helps people manage sleep and eating concerns, intimacy-related worries, and the strain of fertility or blended family issues.

   People meet Surjeet to work on coping skills, clearer communication and steady progress towards personal aims. She encourages small, sustainable changes and supports people as they try different ways to feel better and more in control.

2. How Surjeet uses practical approaches online

   Surjeet works with Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build commitment. This approach focuses on listening, drawing out personal motivation, and supporting gradual steps towards goals.
   
   She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current behaviour. This helps when communication problems, trust issues or long-standing emotional reactions make everyday life harder.
   
   Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest one or a blend of methods that fit the person’s needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted as work progresses.
   
   Please confirm which online session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals often tailor online sessions to match practical needs and life routines.
