Rupinder Sagoo , BACP

Rupinder Sagoo is a counsellor with 25 years of experience. She practices in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her work aims to look at the whole person rather than only the immediate problem.

Rupinder uses a mix of talking therapy and practical life factors. She pays attention to sleep, diet, relationships and meaning alongside emotions and thinking patterns. This helps people find changes that last beyond single sessions.

She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. These methods are adapted to fit a person's goals, whether they need short-term help or longer work.

Rupinder has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. She also addresses relationship struggles, career or life changes, body image issues and concerns that affect LGBT people. Her experience includes areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and recovery after domestic violence.

Sessions focus on clear, practical steps plus space to reflect. Conversations aim to help people notice patterns, try new responses and build coping skills. Rupinder encourages a collaborative process where clients set the pace and goals.

She offers online work in English and accepts international clients. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take small actions that matter to them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by shifting the focus from avoiding feelings to living with intention. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting, which can help with relationship issues and trust concerns.

Picking the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rupinder will collaborate with each person to identify what feels helpful and adjust methods as the work progresses. Goals, preferences and everyday life factors guide those choices rather than one single technique.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflections or times when writing feels more natural. Together these formats make it simpler to keep continuity when schedules or locations change, and they allow therapists and clients to shape a plan that fits daily life.
