About Bupinderjeet
Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 18 years of therapeutic experience. She works with people who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and family difficulties, along with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Sessions are held in English and she practises from the United Kingdom.
Vicky uses approaches that focus on the client and their relationships. She draws on attachment-based methods to look at connection patterns and client-centred listening to help people be heard. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are also woven into her work to support practical change and clearer goals.
Her background includes long experience in NHS adult mental health services and roles supporting staff wellbeing. That work has involved supporting people with a wide range of mental health and life challenges, including work with survivors of sexual assault and incest. She also notes an interest in equality and diversity and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds.
In sessions she aims to build a trusting working relationship and to talk through what is most important right now. Conversations usually look at current symptoms, past experiences that matter, and doable steps the person can try between sessions. She also discusses coping strategies, communication patterns and how relationships affect feelings.
People considering a first session are asked to use the site steps to view online therapy options and complete the brief matching questionnaire before scheduling. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Vicky uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening to help people understand patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect anxiety and connection. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations, which can be useful for social anxiety and intimacy-related concerns. Client-centred listening places the person’s experience at the centre and helps clarify what matters most in sessions.She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to support change in practical ways. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making a change, by exploring ambivalence and building motivation. Solution-focused methods focus on small, doable steps and concrete goals to reduce overwhelm and move forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their problems, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time, which may help maintain consistency without major schedule changes.
