Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner, BACP

Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or major life changes. She helps with low mood, trauma, relationship worries, addiction concerns and issues like sleep or appetite problems. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at helping people take small steps that make daily life easier.

Vicky works in a person-centred way that focuses on building trust. She listens without judging and follows the pace that feels right for the person sitting in front of her. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and to find manageable next steps.

Across an 18 year counselling career within the UK National Health Service she has supported people with a wide range of difficulties. That work included roles in adult mental health and staff wellbeing, and specialist work with survivors of sexual assault and incest. She draws on that experience to shape clear, focused sessions.

Her approach combines attachment-based ideas, motivational interviewing and narrative and solution-focused techniques. These methods help with understanding patterns from the past, finding motivation to change, and spotting practical solutions for everyday problems. Vicky pays particular attention to cultural and diversity issues from her own background.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary by location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approach-driven online counselling that fits your life

Vicky uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when fears about closeness, trust or abandonment affect day-to-day life. She also uses client-centred methods, which put the person's experience at the heart of every session and emphasise listening and respect.

Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit too; it focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and to build small, workable goals. These approaches are practical and suit issues such as anxiety, relationship problems, low mood and coping with major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options during early sessions and adapt the style to match the person's needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with steps agreed together rather than imposed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make regular sessions easier to manage alongside work, family and other commitments.
