About Bupinderjeet
Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner is a counsellor with 18 years of therapeutic experience. She works with people who are stressed, anxious or dealing with low mood. Vicky also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, addictive behaviours and intimacy concerns.
She trained and practised in the NHS for nearly 20 years, mainly in adult mental health. That background informs her straightforward, steady approach in sessions. She aims to build a trusting relationship so people can talk about what's worrying them.
Her style is person-centred, meaning the conversation follows the client rather than a fixed agenda. She combines that with trauma-focused ideas and solution-focused techniques to help people notice what changes might matter most. Motivational interviewing is used when people want practical help with change.
Vicky pays attention to equality and diversity and welcomes a broad range of people. She has experience supporting issues linked to parenting, work stress, ADHD, chronic illness, body image and identity matters including LGBT concerns.
Sessions are arranged through the site and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to use the continue button on this profile and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. Vicky's overall aim is to provide steady, sensible support so people can cope better with difficult feelings and life changes.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and emotional patterns a person carries from close relationships. Online sessions can help people spot these patterns and practise new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work; the counsellor listens without judgment and follows what matters most in each session to build trust and clarity.Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has worked before. Together they shape the plan and can try different ways of working as needed, checking in regularly to see what helps.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and avoiding travel time. Some people find video meetings make it easier to keep a regular routine, while others prefer audio only because it uses less bandwidth or feels less demanding. The site asks clients to confirm current session options before booking so they know which formats are available for scheduling.
