Surjeet Bahra, BACP

Surjeet Bahra is a counsellor with BACP registration and 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on everyday concerns like stress, anxiety, confidence, relationships and life changes. Surjeet aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for people who are uncertain where to begin.

She uses plain conversation to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions are tailored so people can talk through relationship problems, family difficulties, grief, or struggles with mood and motivation. Practical ideas are offered to help with sleep, eating patterns, and coping when life feels overwhelming.

Surjeet draws on approaches that centre the client’s experience, and on techniques that look at how thoughts and habits keep problems going. This includes working with attachment-related patterns and short-term strategies to make small, useful changes. She also uses motivational methods to help people find and keep momentum for change.

People often come for help with addiction, trauma, or complex emotional patterns such as codependency and emptiness. She works with both immediate difficulties and longer-standing issues, helping clients set realistic goals and try different ways of handling day-to-day challenges.

Her manner is respectful and direct. Surjeet listens without judgement and offers clear next steps that fit each person’s situation. She encourages a steady, collaborative pace so progress feels sustainable rather than rushed.

How Surjeet’s approaches translate to online work

Surjeet uses Attachment-Based and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas to guide online work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current worries and connection problems, helping people understand why they react the way they do. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and everyday habits, then testing out different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. Together the client and therapist assess which methods suit the person’s goals and preferences, and they adjust the plan as progress is made. That way the work stays practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm the session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use a break from work or study for sessions. It also lets the therapist observe how everyday routines and habits affect mood, which feeds directly into work on thoughts and habits.
