About Sukhbinder
Sukhbinder Yip is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Her background also includes support around attachment, body image, eating and food-related issues, domestic violence, and life purpose concerns.
Sukhbinder describes a person-centred way of working that invites people to speak about what matters to them. She aims to build rapport and let clients take an active role in choosing which strategies to try. Sessions are described as a collaborative place to talk through what feels difficult and consider practical steps forward.
Her training and professional membership include accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a diploma in clinical counselling supervision. She also has training in cognitive behavioural therapy and several years of work and training around domestic and sexual violence.
In practice she combines person-centred listening with elements of CBT, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused work when these suit a person’s needs. She has experience supporting adults who feel isolated, overwhelmed by guilt or shame, or stuck after life changes.
Sukhbinder asks people to begin by selecting the online therapy options and completing a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s own perspective. It aims to let people lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what is said, which can help with issues like low self-esteem, grief and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It usually involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments or exercises to change how day-to-day routines and reactions operate, which can help with anxiety and panic symptoms.
Psychodynamic ideas can be used to notice recurring patterns in relationships and reactions. Talking about past experiences can shed light on current difficulties such as attachment issues or repeated cycles of shame and guilt.
Deciding which mix of approaches to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adjust methods together with the client as they learn what helps.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions to fit talking therapy around work, family or health demands, to reduce travel, or to have shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can make the practicalities of regular sessions easier to fit into everyday life.
