Surjeet Bahra, BACP

Surjeet Bahra is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, family problems and the emotional effects of trauma and loss.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions are respectful and compassionate. The aim is to make steady, practical progress rather than rush to quick fixes.

Surjeet uses approaches that look at how relationships and past experiences shape feelings and behaviour. She also draws on clearer strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts and habits, and on goal-focused techniques that help people move forward. These are used in ways that suit each person.

Her additional focus areas include addictions, intimacy-related concerns, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, and coping with big life changes. She also works with issues linked to personality patterns and family blending, such as attachment issues, codependency and communication problems.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be supported. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability. Surjeet aims to make the process straightforward for people taking the first step.

How different approaches guide online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and close relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It can help people understand patterns in their relationships and feel more connected to their own needs.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the moment, offering non-judgemental listening and support. This approach helps people find their own solutions and build confidence at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical ways to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and difficulties with sleep or motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed to fit the person’s aims.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy life and fewer journeys to attend appointments. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and options for sessions that do not require being on camera. The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt approaches to suit everyday routines and needs.
