About Bupinderjeet

Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner is a BACP-registered counsellor with 18 years of therapeutic experience in adult mental health. She has worked across NHS services for nearly 20 years and offers support for common problems such as anxiety, stress and depression. She also helps with anger, relationship and parenting concerns, and practical life changes.

Vicky uses person-centred ways of working. She focuses on building a trusting relationship and listens without judgement. Sessions are aimed at helping people talk through feelings, find clearer options and make small changes that fit everyday life.

Her background includes work in staff wellbeing and roles supporting people affected by sexual assault and incest trauma. That experience shapes how she responds to trauma, boundaries and emotional safety in sessions. She also notes an interest in equality and diversity and welcomes people from varied backgrounds.

In the room she draws on attachment-based thinking and narrative approaches to understand patterns in relationships and life stories. Solution-focused methods are used for short-term goals and Motivational Interviewing supports change when people feel stuck. She keeps explanations direct and practical during sessions.

Practical arrangements are made after an initial matching step on the site. The subscription model for sessions lets people stop at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking to ensure they match their needs.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence reactions today. It can help when anger feels tied to feeling let down or rejected by others. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says, helping them sort out emotions and priorities rather than giving advice. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants change but feels stuck; it uses gentle questioning to build motivation and plan practical steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and the pace of change.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and fit around work or family commitments. They also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when bandwidth or quiet time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible options to keep therapy practical and focused on everyday problems rather than making broad promises.
