About Rupinder

Rupinder "Rimpy" Sandhu is a counsellor with 13 years' experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. She is BACP credentialed and offers practical support for grief, trauma, addictions and self-esteem issues. She also helps people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related worries and intimacy or eating difficulties.

Rimpy keeps sessions simple and straightforward. She listens first and asks clear questions to help people name what is worrying them.

02

How Rupinder works

She uses gentle, down-to-earth language and aims to make talking about hard things feel less overwhelming. Her approach mixes different ways of working to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-focused thinking to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. She also takes a client-centred stance that puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. Sessions are tailored to what someone wants to achieve, whether that is short-term coping or deeper, longer-term change.

Rimpy supports people through loss, major life changes, and recurring difficulties such as codependency or panic attacks. She encourages self-awareness and small steps that build confidence over time. Rimpy offers appointments by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

She speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi and is based in the United Kingdom. The practical setup is explained when someone chooses to start therapy.

Online support options

How her approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions, and helps people change repeating patterns in close relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the person’s own goals, giving space to feel heard and to make sense of difficult emotions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working that could fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow a fuller conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring roles or travel.
