About Bupinderjeet

Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner is a counsellor with 18 years of therapeutic experience. She offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, including midlife crisis concerns. She works in English and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions.

Vicky practises in a person-centred way, aiming to build trust and a clear working relationship. She uses listening and gentle questioning to help people talk through difficult feelings. Her work is informed by experience in adult mental health within the NHS and roles supporting staff wellbeing.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and on narrative techniques to help people reframe their stories. Solution-focused thinking is used when people want short-term goals and clear next steps. Motivational interviewing supports change when clients feel stuck or unsure about choices.

Vicky has experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, relationship issues, grief, addiction, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She is also experienced with matters such as parenting strain, body image, chronic illness and communication problems. Her background includes working with sexual assault and incest trauma in clinical settings.

Her practice emphasizes respect for diversity and equal treatment, shaped by her own BAME background. Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with the pace and focus set by the person seeking help. To begin, clients use the site's Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships form patterns that affect current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand why they respond in certain ways and aims to build steadier ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and uses active listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs space to clarify what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as priorities shift or as different challenges arise.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the option for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can reduce travel and make it simpler to keep continuity after a life change, though specific session formats are not listed in the original profile. Please confirm the available session options before booking so you know what will work with your schedule and circumstances.
