About Simran
Simran Nandhra works with stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns and issues around self-esteem and confidence. She uses a person-centred approach that treats the client as the expert on their life. Simran is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of experience in the field.
She helps people talk through relationship difficulties and family problems, including blended family issues, family of origin concerns, adoption and foster care matters, and abandonment-related worries. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, eating-related struggles, anger, and intimacy-related issues. Work with LGBT concerns and women's issues is also part of her practice.
Simran draws mainly on Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy in sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people find their own solutions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from earlier life that may influence current feelings and relationships.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational, with attention to practical coping strategies and understanding deeper patterns. Simran encourages people to notice what already helps them and to build on those strengths. She will work with each person to agree goals and ways of measuring progress.
Her practice serves people in the United Kingdom and sessions are offered in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Simran uses her approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s perspective at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps people identify what they already do that helps, so they can make changes that fit their life. This approach can suit concerns such as low self-esteem, relationship problems and coping with life changes.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and early relationships can shape current feelings and behaviours. It can help when patterns keep repeating, or when someone wants to understand roots of anxiety, grief or intimacy-related issues.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust methods based on what the person finds most helpful. The aim is to agree a plan that matches needs and preferences.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows for quieter check-ins or shorter sessions when that suits a person’s schedule.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
