Simran Nandhra, BACP

Simran Nandhra helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strains and family problems. She also supports those dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, issues around intimacy, grief, eating concerns, anger, ADHD and challenges tied to identity and LGBT matters.

Simran works in a way that treats the client as the expert in their own life. She listens without judgement and helps people notice their strengths. Sessions are practical and grounded, with time spent talking through current difficulties and small steps to try between meetings.

Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-directive relationship and helps people find their own answers. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns from the past that repeat today and aims to bring those patterns into awareness.

Simran has six years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

People come to Simran for short-term support or for longer work to address deeper patterns. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts her style to each person’s needs. Practical goals and calmer day-to-day coping are common outcomes people aim for in her sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is based on offering a warm, accepting relationship where the counsellor follows the person's lead. It helps when someone needs a space to make sense of feelings, build confidence, or decide what they want to change. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that come from past relationships and early experiences. It can help people understand why they repeat the same habits and how those patterns affect current relationships and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which way of working fits best with the person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as different issues come into focus.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and body language, while phone sessions remove the need to be on camera and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to choose a format that matches one's routine and comfort.
