Raghbhir Gandham, BACP

Raghbhir Gandham helps people who are feeling stuck by offering calm, practical support. She works in English and Punjabi and draws on five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at making sessions feel understandable and manageable.

She focuses on problems such as addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, career stress, relationship strain, grief and anger. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, body image concerns and caregiver stress. Chronic pain or long-term illness, dissociation and the effects of domestic violence or separation are among other areas she addresses.

Raghbhir uses well-known psychological methods to structure sessions and build skills. She integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. These methods are used to help people notice thoughts, make values-based choices and improve emotional regulation.

Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with practical tools and steady guidance. Conversations focus on real-life coping strategies, clearer communication and small steps that can change daily routines. She aims to make the process collaborative, with the person setting goals and checking progress.

People often come with immediate concerns and leave with strategies they can try between meetings. Raghbhir describes therapy as a place to be heard, to explore patterns, and to plan a path forward that fits each person's life.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then focus on actions that match their values, which can be useful for issues like addiction, eating struggles and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change patterns and improve sleep, mood and daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships affect current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating to others and themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on each person's goals, history and personal preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods may be adjusted over time to fit what helps most.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to build regular sessions around work, caring duties or different time zones while still using structured therapeutic techniques.
