About Surjeet
Surjeet Bahra is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and problems with self-esteem and confidence.
She supports people coping with depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related issues. Surjeet also helps with eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, bipolar challenges and major life changes. Guilt and shame are listed among her additional focus areas.
Her style is conversational and practical. She uses straightforward discussion to help people make sense of what they are feeling. Sessions look at patterns in relationships and behaviour, and at small changes that can reduce pressure day to day.
Surjeet draws on Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current feelings. She also uses Client-Centred methods to keep the work person-focused and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test different behaviours. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when people want clearer goals or to build motivation for change.
People who come to her often want to understand why guilt or shame keeps returning, or how to stop those feelings affecting relationships and daily life. She asks about what matters to the person and works with them to set small, practical steps. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Surjeet uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns. This approach helps when difficulties with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems are part of what keeps someone feeling stuck.She also draws on Client-Centred methods, which focus on listening and following what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try small experiments that test different ways of thinking and behaving.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to agree which methods match their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people value online sessions because they can fit appointments into work breaks, avoid travel time and choose a quieter moment of the day. Phone calls can be useful when a shorter check-in is needed or when video would be difficult, while video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Registered and accredited professionals can explain format details when you book so you can pick what fits your routine.
