About Rupinder
Counsellor Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu is BACP and has 13 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family matters, grief, parenting concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other issues such as anger, self-esteem and depression.
Rimpy keeps sessions straightforward. She listens and helps clients name feelings and see what is getting in the way. Conversations aim to make daily coping easier and to clarify choices when life feels difficult.
Her approach draws on attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix is used to look at patterns in relationships, how thoughts affect mood, and how past events influence present reactions. She also uses existential ideas and elements of the Gottman Method where helpful for relationship work.
Rimpy offers both short-term and longer-term counselling. She has worked with people experiencing panic, post-traumatic stress, ADHD-related concerns, compassion fatigue and workplace stress. Sessions are set up so clients can build steady, weekly contact if they choose.
Sessions are available in English, Hindi and Punjabi. International clients are accepted. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness. It can help when relationship patterns, abandonment or attachment issues keep repeating and causing distress.Client-centred counselling focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist listens without judging and helps clients find their own answers, which can be useful for low self-esteem, grief and parenting concerns.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, examines how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. It offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful coping patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and jointly decide what to try first. That decision can change as therapy progresses and as new issues come up.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography lists telephone work and both short-term and longer-term arrangements but does not specify other formats. Online counselling can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, reduce travel time and allow regular weekly contact for steady progress. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same kinds of therapeutic conversation online as in person, while making it easier to attend from different locations.
