About Raghbhir

Raghbhir Gandham works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, relationship strain, career stress, grief and anger. She uses counselling conversations and established therapeutic methods to help people talk through problems and try new ways of coping. Raghbhir is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has five years of professional experience.

Her approach combines practical skills with reflective discussion. She draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them. She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships affect current patterns.

Sessions are person-focused and client-centred, with space for emotional expression alongside skills practice. She may work on mood regulation, boundary-setting, sleep routines, or reducing harmful use of substances or behaviours. Conversations are paced to the individual and aim to build manageable steps forward.

Raghbhir also addresses issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, dissociation, divorce and domestic violence. She offers help with communication problems, control issues and feelings of emptiness as part of wider therapy work.

To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and addictive behaviours. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns, often used for sleep problems and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with relationship strain and attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options together, consider the person’s goals and preferences, and adapt methods over time so the therapy fits the client’s needs. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week by avoiding travel and making it easier to attend from a convenient location. They can also allow shorter check-ins or telephone conversations when video is difficult, and they make it possible to work with a therapist who offers sessions across borders.
