Amardeep Diocee , BACP

Amardeep Diocee is a counsellor with eight years' experience working with people from varied backgrounds. She holds membership of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and offers sessions in English and Punjabi. Her practice focuses on women's issues among a broader range of concerns such as anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.

Amardeep creates a calm space for people to talk about what is troubling them. She listens without judgement and helps clients name feelings and patterns that come up in their lives. Sessions aim to make difficult topics easier to face and to find manageable next steps.

Her way of working draws on person-centred ideas that place the client's experience at the heart of therapy. She also uses emotionally-focused and psychodynamic ideas when they help make sense of relationships and past experiences. That mix allows her to adapt the work to each person's needs rather than following a single formula.

People come to Amardeep for a wide range of issues. These include stress, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual concerns, self-esteem and anger. She also supports those navigating separation, workplace pressure, identity and multicultural stresses.

Sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different lifestyles. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the scheduling options available.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and aims to create a supportive space where feelings can be voiced and understood. This approach helps when someone needs a non-directive listener to explore identity, self-esteem and personal goals.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape close relationships and patterns of connection. It can be useful for intimacy issues, relationship conflict and for people who want to shift how they respond in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try techniques that fit the client's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as the work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, ongoing support between longer sessions.
