Saman Kaur, BACP

Saman Kaur helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She works with practical problems like sleep and eating disruption, parenting strain, relationship worries and career uncertainty. Her first aim is to make sessions feel straightforward and useful for someone who is worried and unsure where to begin.

Saman uses a pluralistic approach that is shaped around each person. That means she matches ways of working to what the individual needs rather than using a single fixed method. Sessions focus on increasing self-awareness, noticing patterns that cause pain and building on personal strengths.

In conversations she and the client explore what underlies the presenting issues. They look at how those difficulties affect everyday life and what small changes might make things feel more manageable. The therapist supports people to try alternative ways of being that better match their values and priorities.

Saman is a BACP member, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy codes of ethics. She has three years of clinical experience working with people affected by trauma, domestic violence, mood difficulties and compassion fatigue.

Her practice is suited to people who want a collaborative, down-to-earth counsellor. Sessions aim to help clients discover useful coping strategies, repair strained relationships with themselves or others, and regain a clearer sense of direction.

People can expect a calm, steady approach that balances listening with practical steps to move forward.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Many of the approaches Saman uses focus on expanding self-awareness and building practical coping skills. One common thread is exploratory conversation that uncovers patterns and beliefs that cause difficulty, which helps with issues like anxiety, grief and low mood. Another element is strength-focused work that identifies personal resources and small behavioural changes to improve sleep, eating, mood and relationships.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Saman will discuss different options with each person and together they will decide what fits best for the goals and the situation. That collaborative planning means the approach can shift as progress is made or new needs appear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth fluctuates or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, steady support between sessions or times when writing feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family routines and daily life.
