Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu , BACP

Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and a wide range of life challenges. She also helps with parenting concerns, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to self-esteem and intimacy. Rimpy works with women’s issues among other focuses and brings 13 years of experience to her practice.

She keeps sessions straightforward and people-centred. Rimpy offers a calm space to talk and to make sense of painful memories or confusing emotions. Conversations are non-judgemental and aim to help each person find clearer ways to cope day to day.

Rimpy uses familiar approaches such as client-centred listening and cognitive work to test unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on attachment ideas to map how early relationships shape current patterns. These methods are adapted to each person’s needs rather than applied the same way to everyone.

Practical tasks and gentle reflection are both common in sessions. Some people use therapy short term for a specific issue. Others stay longer to work through deeper patterns. Rimpy matches the pace to what feels manageable for each person.

She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and has supported people across many concerns including ADHD, bipolar, anger, panic and workplace stress. Sessions are available in English, Hindi and Punjabi and can take place by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions that fit their schedule. The aim is to help people find more clarity, stronger coping skills and greater self-awareness over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. Online sessions use conversations and exercises to notice recurring patterns and to try new ways of relating in everyday life, which can help with relationship difficulties and attachment concerns.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what she hears so people can name feelings and make their own choices; this fits well with phone or text formats where people may prefer a gentler pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with simple experiments. In online sessions CBT can include short tasks between meetings, thought records, and practical steps to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Choosing an approach is part of the work and happens together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day constraints and then suggest methods to try. If something doesn’t fit, adjustments are made so the therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and use visual tools. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a work break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or for those who prefer typing to speaking. These options help fit therapy around life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
