About Sanjay
Sanjay Badhan works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, grief or life changes. He offers calm, non-judgemental support and aims to make the first steps towards talking feel easier. Sanjay uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience at the heart of each session.
He has eight years of experience in mental health roles and has worked in both one-to-one and group settings. He has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, ADHD and autism, and other cognitive differences.
Background and approach
He aims to meet people where they are and treat them with sensitivity and respect. Sanjay blends a practical understanding of psychological theory with his person-centred practice. That means he listens closely and follows the client’s pace, while using psychological concepts to help make sense of difficult feelings and patterns.
Sessions are focused on the person’s goals rather than a set script. He offers a mix of online and remote session types, and has experience supporting people through changes like bereavement, career shifts and challenges to self-esteem. He is comfortable talking about stress, anger, relationship concerns and obsessive patterns.
Clients describe a straightforward, compassionate style that encourages self-reflection and steady progress. Sanjay aims to create a space where people can try out new ways of coping, rebuild a sense of direction and feel heard.

Approaches Sanjay lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Sanjay also draws on psychological theory to help people make sense of patterns in their thinking and behaviour. He uses those ideas as tools to discuss issues like trauma, obsessive thoughts or difficulties linked to autism and ADHD, always adapting the pace to the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sanjay will collaborate with clients to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting methods and session format to match their goals and comfort. He sees therapy as a joint process where preferences guide the plan.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls suit longer, more conversational sessions where visual contact helps the dialogue. Phone sessions or live chat can be better for quick check-ins, lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult. Text-based messaging supports shorter reflections and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and day-to-day life.
