Sanjay Badhan welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. He writes simply and directly, and aims to make the first steps easier for anyone nervous about starting therapy. Sanjay uses a warm, non-judgemental approach so people can talk at their own pace.

He works in the United Kingdom and has eight years of professional experience in mental health. That experience includes one-to-one and group work, delivered both face to face and online.

Background and approach

He has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, eating difficulties, depression and anxiety. Sanjay also has experience working with people on the autism spectrum and those with attention deficit hyperactivity difficulties. He pays attention to how thinking styles and sensory differences affect day-to-day life.

He aims to help people build practical strategies and better understand themselves. His practice follows a client-centred therapy model, which means conversations are shaped around each person’s needs. He combines that with ideas from psychology to help people reflect on patterns and try different ways of coping.

Sessions are calm, respectful and paced to the individual. People who want a steady, empathetic listener and clear tools to manage hard feelings may find his style helpful. He encourages small, realistic steps and supports people as they try new habits.

If someone prefers online sessions, he offers a range of remote options alongside in-person work.

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-centred therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship and responding to each person’s needs. The therapist aims to understand how you view your situation and follows your lead while offering gentle reflection and practical ideas. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, life changes and the effects of trauma.

He also draws on psychological concepts to make sense of repeating patterns and habits. That means sessions can include talking through recent events, noticing unhelpful thoughts or behaviours, and trying small changes to see what helps. Together, they will decide which ideas to try and adapt the work as needs and goals shift.

Online therapy gives flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let you see facial cues and keep a regular weekly rhythm. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short, focused exchanges and ongoing contact between sessions when that suits your routine.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify the best fit based on your goals, preferences and practical circumstances, and adjust methods as you progress.
