About Surjeet

Surjeet Bahra is a counsellor with BACP registration and 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or major life changes. She also helps those facing relationship and family difficulties, issues with self-esteem, and struggles around addiction and intimacy.

Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. She listens first and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Conversations are practical and focused on small steps that make life feel more manageable.

Surjeet draws on approaches that aim to understand how early relationships shape present patterns. She combines this with client-centred work that keeps the person’s priorities at the heart of therapy. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping.

People turn to her for help with grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains and addictive behaviours. She also offers support around attachment concerns, codependency and communication or control issues within family life.

She encourages a collaborative atmosphere where goals are agreed together. Sessions focus on what is useful now and on building practical strategies to carry outside the room. If someone wants to make a change, she offers steady support as they try new ways of relating and coping.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and can aid work on closeness, trust and codependency concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering a non-judgemental space and support to follow the client’s priorities and pace. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Surjeet works collaboratively to decide what helps most, matching methods to a person's goals and preferences. She will check in as therapy progresses and adjust the focus where needed. Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, cutting travel time and allowing sessions during a work break or at home. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, try shorter check-ins, or avoid being on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical formats to keep therapy accessible and manageable for people with busy lives.
