Surjeet Bahra

Surjeet Bahra is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience and a BACP registration. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. Surjeet talks through relationship and family concerns and supports people facing changes in motivation, confidence and self-esteem.

She works in a way that treats people with respect and sensitivity. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs, so conversations and practical steps are shaped around what matters to the individual. Surjeet aims to be straightforward and compassionate in the room.

Her background includes a range of common and complex concerns. She has supported people with grief, trauma and abuse, and with issues linked to addiction and bipolar difficulties. She also addresses eating and sleeping problems, intimacy-related worries, and coping with life transitions.

Surjeet pays particular attention to patterns that affect relationships, such as attachment issues, communication problems, codependency and commitment fears. She is familiar with challenges in blended families and fertility-related stress, and with feelings of guilt, shame or emptiness.

In sessions she draws on approaches like attachment-based work, client-centred conversation and cognitive behavioural methods. Practical strategies and short-term goal work are used alongside open listening. The focus is on clear steps a person can try between sessions to see what helps.

How these approaches translate to online work

Surjeet draws on client-centred methods, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural approaches to shape online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says, which can help someone feel heard and understood in remote sessions. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and can guide conversations about trust and closeness. Cognitive behavioural techniques break problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offer practical exercises to try between meetings.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the person to decide what feels most useful, adjusting methods as goals and needs change. Sessions are tailored so the approach fits the client rather than the other way round.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm exact options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed, or when practical tasks and worksheets are useful to try at home. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques used in face-to-face work to an online setting to support progress.
