Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner, BACP

Vicky uses person-centred work to focus on what each person needs most, allowing conversations to follow the client's lead and timing. This approach helps when dealing with depression, low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries because it centres the person's own priorities.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current responses. That can be useful for people who notice repeated patterns in relationships or who struggle with trust and closeness. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want to change specific behaviours, such as addictive patterns or sleep routines, by finding personal reasons to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as needed over time. That collaborative process helps keep sessions practical and relevant.

Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and have fuller conversations, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options provide flexibility and accessibility so therapy can happen around work, caregiving or mobility constraints.
