How Surjeet works
Surjeet uses a mix of approaches to suit different problems. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs support to find or keep momentum for change. Solution-focused work helps people identify small, practical goals and track progress over time. These methods are applied in straightforward language without jargon.
Surjeet has worked across many concerns including intimacy-related issues, sleeping and eating problems, parenting strain, bipolar and coping with life changes. She also gives attention to issues such as communication problems, codependency, forgiveness and guilt. Her approach is collaborative and aimed at clear, manageable steps.

Approaches that work online and how they help
Surjeet commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood, sleeping and eating issues. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try different ways of relating. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Surjeet will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, then collaborate to choose or combine methods that best fit each person. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation and are useful for more in-depth work, while phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or times with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when writing things down feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, and let people try different formats to see what helps most.Start online instead of waiting
