About Bupinderjeet
Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 18 years of therapeutic experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger and related concerns. She also supports issues around grief, intimacy, parenting, self-esteem and life transitions.
Vicky uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to help people identify what is causing tension in their lives. Sessions focus on what a person notices day to day - snapping at loved ones, frustration at work, or difficulty sleeping. She listens to how problems show up and helps people find small, practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas. That means attention to how early and current relationships shape reactions, and working at a pace set by the client. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to spot strengths and to build short-term plans that feel achievable.
Vicky brings long experience from work in adult mental health services within the UK. She is comfortable discussing matters linked to identity and diversity and welcomes people from varied backgrounds. Sessions are offered in English.
Practical matters such as cost vary by location; sessions operate through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are invited to use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions to stress and anger. In practice this means talking about patterns in close relationships and noticing triggers that repeat over time. Client-centred therapy focuses on what the person brings to each session and moves at their pace, helping them name feelings and priorities without pressure. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change and to boost motivation for small steps that feel manageable.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a plan together. That means checking in on what helps and adjusting the approach as therapy progresses.
The practical advantages of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you want to know which session formats are available, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule around work or caring responsibilities and useful for keeping momentum between meetings.
