About Bupinderjeet

Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and a wide range of other difficulties. She works in a person-centred way, building a trusting relationship and following the client’s lead. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 18 years' experience as a counsellor.

Vicky has worked for nearly 20 years across NHS services, mainly in adult mental health. She has provided counselling for people with symptoms linked to anxiety, stress and depression, and has experience supporting staff wellbeing and survivors of sexual assault and incest. Her practice reflects an interest in equality and diversity rooted in her own background.

In sessions she focuses on listening and helping people make sense of their situation. She uses person-centred principles alongside approaches such as attachment-based work and solution-focused steps. Conversations tend to centre on current difficulties, patterns in relationships, coping strategies and small practical changes.

She also draws on narrative techniques to help clients reframe difficult experiences and on motivational interviewing when people want to change behaviours such as substance use. This mix aims to help people clarify goals and take manageable steps towards them.

Sessions are scheduled according to her stated hours and she asks new clients to book or message with preferred times. Costs vary by location and are paid through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds can affect present feelings and behaviour; it can help with issues around closeness, trust and relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client brings, helping people to speak about problems and find their own solutions; it is useful for stress, low mood and self-esteem. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that supports readiness to change and is often used when people want to address behaviours such as substance use.

Working out which approach fits best is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not worked in the past, and then agree a way forward together. This makes the work collaborative and practical rather than prescriptive.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and day-to-day commitments, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals offering remote work can use different approaches within sessions so the practicalities can be arranged to suit the client’s needs and routine.
