About Sukhbinder
Sukhbinder Yip is a counsellor with 16 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and offers a calm, respectful space for people to talk about what is worrying them. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and to find practical ways forward.
Sukhbinder primarily uses a person-centred way of working. That means she listens closely and builds a trusting relationship before suggesting steps to help.
How Sukhbinder works
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking to understand patterns that keep problems going. People come to her with stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. She also supports those affected by trauma and abuse, and those struggling with self-esteem and body image.
Her background includes substantial experience related to domestic and sexual violence and work with children, young people and adults earlier in her career. Sessions are collaborative. Clients are invited to help choose what to try and when to change course.
Sukhbinder aims to identify strengths and small, practical steps that fit each person’s life and goals. She emphasises respect, clear boundaries and equal treatment for all. Her practice encourages people to regain confidence and a sense of direction as they work through difficult feelings and experiences.

Online support options
Approaches you can use online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel understood and often suits those who need space to talk through painful feelings and regain confidence.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful patterns.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to recurring patterns and past experiences that shape how someone reacts today. It can help people understand why certain problems keep returning and support longer term change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process that can change over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to therapy. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in when time is tight. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments.
