About Rajbinder
Rajbinder "Raj" Kalirai is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger. Raj supports those struggling with mood, addiction and identity-related concerns as well as a wide range of life stresses.
Raj uses straightforward conversation to help people talk through what feels hard. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, trying small changes and practising new ways of responding. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused thinking.
She often helps clients who are dealing with grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain and problems with self-esteem or body image. Raj also has experience supporting people through career shifts, adoption and foster care questions, and the after-effects of domestic violence or separation.
Her work includes attention to relationship dynamics, communication problems, codependency and commitment concerns. Raj uses emotionally-focused methods when relationships are central to the issue, and she uses CBT-style tasks when unhelpful thoughts and behaviours are getting in the way.
Sessions are conducted in English and Raj also speaks Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. She accepts international clients and asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Raj uses therapy approaches online
Raj commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to fight them, and then choose actions that align with what matters to them. This can suit people wrestling with anxiety, avoidance or changes in life direction. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioural changes; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas when relationship patterns are important. That approach looks at how past connections shape current responses and supports clearer communication and emotional connection in relationships. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most workable in day-to-day life.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time from appointments. Raj will discuss practical arrangements and approach during the initial scheduling step to help match the format to the client's needs and routines.
