Raghbhir Gandham , BACP

Raghbhir Gandham welcomes people who are feeling stuck by addiction, grief, relationship strain, or difficulties with eating and sleep. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps easier to take. Raghbhir is based in the United Kingdom and works in English and Punjabi. She holds BACP and has five years of professional experience.

Raghbhir focuses on building a trusting space where people can talk about painful events and current struggles. She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts sessions to fit those priorities. Practical skills and small experiments are used alongside talking to help with day-to-day problems.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also uses acceptance and commitment approaches to help people live by their values, and attachment-based ideas to address difficulties in relationships and connection. Dialectical behaviour strategies appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Sessions aim to be clear and purposeful. Raghbhir helps people set realistic goals and breaks tasks into manageable steps. She gives tools to try between sessions and reviews progress together to see what helps.

People come to her for a range of issues beyond the headline concerns, including body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and feelings of emptiness. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on practical change and steady support.

Approaches you can use online with a counsellor

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take action that matches their values. It can be useful for issues like anxiety, addiction and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through your goals, try methods that suit your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. Many people combine elements from different approaches so the work fits their situation.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let you work face to face when that matters, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping a steady course of support.
