About Surjeet
Surjeet Bahra is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, motivation issues and confidence. Surjeet also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and substance problems.
She approaches sessions in a down-to-earth way. Conversations focus on what is troubling the person right now and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Surjeet uses methods that help people understand how their past relationships shape current feelings and behaviours, and how thoughts can be adjusted to reduce unhelpful patterns.
Clients can expect straightforward explanations of techniques and opportunities to practise new skills in everyday life. The work can include looking at attachment patterns, trying cognitive approaches to reframe thinking, and setting small, achievable goals to build momentum. Sessions aim to be clear and focused rather than abstract.
Surjeet pays attention to relationship dynamics such as communication, blame and trust, and she helps people handle issues like codependency, commitment worries, control problems and family strain. She also addresses eating and sleeping difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, fertility-related stress and the emotional effects of loss.
Many people come for help with specific problems such as addictive behaviours, bipolar-related coping, or feeling stuck after big life changes. Surjeet combines listening with active techniques drawn from attachment work, client-centred ideas and cognitive behavioural practice to help people make practical changes.
Approaches used in online sessions
Surjeet draws on attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural approaches in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people notice and change repetitive ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to shift them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.She also uses client-centred ideas that give people space to explain what matters most to them while the therapist listens and reflects. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process and she will work collaboratively to decide what best fits a person's goals, preferences and day-to-day needs.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking to confirm formats and practical details. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will discuss what approach and session pattern suit the person's schedule and aims.
