Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner, BACP

Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner offers approachable, practical counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. She works with individuals facing loss, trauma, changes at work or home, and challenges like addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, or struggles with self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and draw on a compassionate, person-focused style. With 18 years as a therapist and almost 20 years working in NHS services, she brings substantial experience from adult mental health settings. Her practice reflects long-term work supporting people with trauma, including sexual assault and incest, and supporting staff wellbeing in healthcare contexts. She uses an approach that centres the person rather than imposing a rigid method. That means listening first, helping clients set goals, and working at a pace that suits them. She often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape patterns, and uses solution-focused and narrative techniques to help people make practical changes. Her training and registration are with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That is described here as BACP and is the credential she holds. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and pays attention to equality and cultural difference in sessions. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice how people relate now and to practise different ways of connecting and setting boundaries. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. In an online conversation this means pacing sessions around what feels most urgent and offering reflective support. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and build confidence; it is a useful complement when clients are weighing options about substance use, career moves or lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs together, and adapt methods over time so sessions stay useful and relevant. Clients are treated as partners in choosing what works best for them.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers flexibility for people who prefer talking rather than attending in person. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to timing and pace, helping therapy fit into everyday routines.
