Sanjay Badhan, BACP

Sanjay Badhan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by trauma, loss, anxiety, or struggles with food and self-worth. He works in a calm, respectful way and aims to make the first steps feel easier. Sanjay uses clear, simple language so people can say what matters most to them.

He draws on eight years of experience in mental health roles, offering one-to-one and group support both in person and online. His background in psychology informs how he explains feelings and behaviours, using straightforward ideas to make sense of difficult moments. Sanjay has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and eating issues. He also supports people with autism, attention differences such as ADHD, and other cognitive challenges.

Sessions are grounded in a person-centred approach. That means he listens first and follows the pace you set, helping you find your own answers rather than imposing solutions. He aims to build trust through sensitivity and non-judgemental understanding.

Practical goals are part of the work. Sanjay will help identify manageable steps you can try between sessions, whether that means coping strategies, small behaviour changes, or different ways of thinking about problems. He also uses psychological theory to explain patterns and offer new perspectives.

People who choose him often want a direct, empathetic counsellor who respects their individual story. He provides clear explanations and steady support while you explore changes and build resilience.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and letting the client lead the pace of sessions. It helps when someone needs space to understand feelings, build self-worth, or work through painful experiences. Sanjay uses this approach to help people make sense of trauma, grief, anxiety and eating issues by following their priorities rather than directing the conversation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is collaborative - the client’s feedback shapes how sessions develop over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer written reflection. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and try out different ways of meeting until a good fit is found.
