Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu, BACP

Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. Rupinder speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi and practises in the United Kingdom.

Rupinder creates a calm space where people can talk about painful memories and difficult feelings. She uses a straightforward, non-judgemental style and aims to make it easier to name emotions. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and finding practical ways to cope day to day.

Her approach adapts to each person. She combines ideas from attachment-based work, client-centred talking, and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She also draws on existential thinking and relationship-focused methods when those perspectives fit.

Rupinder has 13 years of experience as a psychotherapist and holds BACP registration, which is listed in her credentials as BACP. She has worked with people on issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, and workplace stress among others.

Sessions can be short term or longer term, and she has experience working by telephone as well. Appointments are usually weekly and arranged for the same day and time when that suits the person.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect the way people connect and feel safe with others. It helps with attachment concerns, abandonment worries and relationship patterns by exploring how past experiences shape present reactions. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It gives space for a person to be heard, to reflect, and to discover their own answers through empathic listening. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try practical steps to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and panic attacks.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and can change over time as different topics come up.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Telephone work can make it easier to have a shorter check-in or to avoid being on camera. If you prefer other session formats, confirm the current options before booking so you know what is offered at the time.
