Simran Nandhra , BACP

Simran Nandhra is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She also helps with low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and eating. Her practice includes work on ADHD, anger, coping with life changes, and LGBT concerns. Simran lists a focus on women's issues and on family-related topics such as adoption, foster care and blended family challenges.

Simran uses a warm, person-focused style in sessions. She starts by listening to each person’s story and noticing their strengths. From there she helps clients make small, practical changes and build confidence. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, with the client steering the pace and topics.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods and psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred work focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and creating space to talk things through. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns in relationships and early experiences that shape current feelings and behaviour.

Simran holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in her profile. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. Her background includes six years of experience supporting people with emotional and relationship difficulties.

People who choose Simran usually start by describing the problem they want to change. She helps them set realistic short-term aims and reviews progress regularly. This practical, empathic approach is aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day life.

How client-centred and psychodynamic work fit online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers. Online sessions give space to describe what matters, build self-awareness and practise new ways of relating when stress or relationships feel hard.

Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape feelings today. In online sessions this can help uncover repeated relationship themes, attachment concerns or family-of-origin issues that affect daily life and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning means approaches can be adjusted as therapy continues.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well if lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing to talking or who need brief, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life while keeping the focus on progress and clarity.
