Jatindar Bhogal , BACP

Jatindar Bhogal welcomes people looking for calm and clear support with stress, anxiety, relationships and life changes. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and works in English and Punjabi. Her approach aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for day-to-day life.

She has 22 years of experience working with issues such as grief and bereavement, depression, addictions and trauma and abuse. Jatindar also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, body image, sleep or eating problems and the strain of caregiving. LGBT concerns and coping after major life events are additional areas she addresses.

In sessions she adapts methods to suit each person. Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioural ideas to help change thinking and behaviour, acceptance and commitment ideas to build valued living, and attachment-informed work to look at how close relationships affect feelings. Emotionally-focused strategies help where relationships and connection are central.

She aims to tailor sessions to an individual’s needs and pace. That can mean short practical exercises, talking through painful memories, or building new coping routines together. People can expect steady, respectful support and an emphasis on small, useful steps.

Jatindar offers a range of online formats so therapy can fit around daily life. She encourages people to take the step that feels right for them and will work with each person to create a plan that addresses their priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. It can help when anxiety, low mood or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It suits people who want practical tools to change everyday patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional reactions and helps people build more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jatindar will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's situation. The process is collaborative and paced to what the individual needs at each stage.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or who cannot get to a clinic. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter reflections, notes between sessions or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel while using the approaches described above.
