About Sanjay
Sanjay Badhan welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their next steps. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult experiences. Sessions are aimed at helping people make sense of challenges and find clearer ways forward.
Sanjay uses a person-centred approach that places the client at the centre of the work. He listens closely and follows each person’s pace rather than imposing a set plan.
How Sanjay works
This style suits people who need time to be heard and to build trust before tackling deeper issues. Over eight years he has worked across different roles in mental health. That experience includes both group work and one-to-one sessions, delivered in person and online.
His background in psychology informs how he links everyday struggles to broader patterns and ideas. Sanjay has supported people with trauma and abuse, bereavement, eating and food-related difficulties, depression, anxiety and stress. He has also worked with people who have ADHD, autism and related cognitive differences.
He pays close attention to matters such as attachment, self-esteem, anger and life purpose. Clients can expect steady, respectful support that aims to increase self-understanding and practical coping. Sanjay emphasises sensitivity and compassion while helping people identify small steps that feel manageable.
He encourages exploration at a pace that feels safe for each person.

How person-centred work translates to online therapy
Sanjay’s main approach is Client-Centred Therapy. This means the focus is on understanding each person’s experience and responding with warmth and respect. It is useful for people who need time to build trust or who want a supportive space to talk things through.He combines that person-centred stance with a background in psychology that helps link personal difficulties to wider patterns. That practical use of theory can help when people want to make sense of problems like anxiety, depression, or obsessive patterns.
Finding the right way of working is a team effort. Sanjay will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt the approach as needed. Together they decide whether to focus on coping strategies, exploring past experiences, or mixing both approaches to suit what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging works for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study or family life while keeping the same therapeutic approach across formats.
