Sanjay Badhan, BACP

Sanjay Badhan welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed by loss, or weighed down by past trauma. He offers a calm, respectful presence and aims to help each person find practical ways to feel steadier. Sanjay is named up front to make it clear who the profile describes.

He uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. That means listening with care, reflecting what comes up, and helping people make sense of their feelings at their own pace. Sessions are non-judgemental and paced to the individual rather than following a rigid plan.

Over eight years he has worked in a range of mental health roles and settings. That background includes both one-to-one and group work, and experience supporting people with trauma, grief, eating difficulties and depression. He has also worked with people who have autism spectrum conditions and attention differences such as ADHD.

Sanjay’s training in psychology informs how he uses theory in sessions. He aims to connect theory to everyday choices so clients can practise new ways of coping between meetings. The emphasis is on small, realistic steps that build confidence over time.

People who come for help with relationships, self-esteem, work stress or life transitions can expect straightforward conversation and practical ideas. Sanjay describes himself as sensitive and compassionate, and he focuses on creating an open space for people to explore what matters to them.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Person-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. It involves warm, non-judgemental listening and reflecting back what the person says to help them understand their own feelings. This approach often helps with depression, grief, anxiety and adjusting after trauma by giving people space to make sense of difficult experiences.

Sanjay combines that listening stance with practical use of psychological ideas from his background in psychology. He links simple concepts to everyday habits so people can try small changes between sessions and notice what helps. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client explore goals, personal preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a way forward together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals often find these practical benefits help therapy reach into everyday routines without changing the core of the therapeutic relationship.
