About Bupinderjeet
Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner is a counsellor with 18 years of therapeutic practice. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and depression, and with a wide range of related concerns including trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, and long-term health or caregiving challenges.
Her approach is grounded in a person-centred way of working. She aims to build a trusting relationship so clients can talk honestly about what matters to them. Sessions focus on what each person brings, and on small steps that fit their life and goals.
Vicky draws on several clinical approaches to shape sessions. She uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings. Narrative and solution-focused methods help people separate from painful stories and try practical ways forward. Motivational interviewing supports change when people feel stuck.
She has extensive experience in the National Health Service and has worked in adult mental health settings for nearly 20 years. That background means she is used to working with complex issues such as trauma, addiction, and chronic illness, and with people facing big life transitions.
Vicky welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and pays attention to equality and cultural difference in her work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the online service process.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions can offer
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and responses; it can be helpful for people dealing with trust, intimacy or abandonment concerns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, validation and following the client’s priorities so people gain space to sort feelings and make choices. Motivational interviewing is a practical, collaborative way of exploring ambivalence and supporting change when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adjust methods to match goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods are tried and reviewed rather than fixed in advance.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care during life transitions or when managing long-term health challenges. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide which format suits practical needs and therapeutic aims.
