Surjeet Bahra is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience supporting people through stressful life moments. She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain and grief. She also helps with addiction concerns and difficulties around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs, and she adapts the conversation and tools as therapy progresses. She aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate in every meeting.

Background and approach

Surjeet draws on a mix of methods to help people make changes. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts, attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and solution-focused moves to build small steps forward. Motivational interviewing can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

She has worked for many years with people facing family problems, blended family issues and parenting strain, and with those coping with grief, trauma and fertility worries. Surjeet also supports people dealing with drug and alcohol addiction, codependency and control or communication difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the UK and internationally.

She uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and arranges sessions that suit their schedule. Surjeet aims to make the first steps straightforward.

She helps people set clear goals and finds approaches that fit their pace and priorities.

How Surjeet’s approaches translate to online work

Surjeet uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and communication. These approaches are aimed at practical changes and clearer understanding of what drives feelings.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client decide on techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer to write, want brief check-ins, or need flexibility around work and family schedules. Many people find these options help them keep therapy consistent around daily life.
