About Sukhbinder
Sukhbinder Yip welcomes people who are unsure where to start and offers a calm, steady presence for those feeling overwhelmed. She is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of experience in the United Kingdom. Her approach aims to help people regain confidence and a sense of normality when life feels difficult.
Sukhbinder works in a person-centred way, listening so people can speak openly about what is troubling them. She encourages active collaboration, inviting clients to help choose the counselling strategies used.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building strengths and practical steps forward rather than labels or judgments. Her background includes work and training around domestic and sexual violence, and many years supporting children, young people and adults. That experience informs how she responds to issues such as trauma, grief and abuse while keeping the conversation straightforward and compassionate.
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas where helpful, matching tools to each person’s needs. This flexible mix supports work on depression, anxiety, panic, low self-esteem and related mood concerns. Sukhbinder aims to help people move from feeling stuck to making real, manageable changes.
She focuses on clear, respectful boundaries and on validating strengths so clients can make steady progress toward their goals.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and certain types of stress where clear steps and exercises can make a difference.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to past experiences and recurring patterns that affect current feelings and relationships. This approach can help people understand deeper emotions behind issues like shame, attachment concerns or repeated relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and may combine methods to suit each person’s needs.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat offers a shorter check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and daily life.
