About Bupinderjeet

Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner offers practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or major life changes. She works with clients on relationships, grief, addiction and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, career pressure, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Vicky identifies as a counsellor with BACP registration and brings 18 years of therapeutic experience to sessions.

Vicky began her career in the NHS and has nearly 20 years working across adult mental health settings. That background shaped a direct, person-centred way of working. She places emphasis on building trust and on listening first, then helping clients choose practical steps that feel manageable.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, narrative work and solution-focused conversations. In practice this means talking about patterns that repeat in relationships, reframing the stories people tell about themselves, and finding small changes that bring relief. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help with change and commitment.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and compassionate. Vicky welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and is attentive to cultural and identity factors in therapy. She offers support for a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness and bereavement.

Clients can expect a collaborative atmosphere where goals are agreed together. Vicky works from the United Kingdom and sees people in English. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a session.

How Vicky’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. Online sessions can be a place to talk through relationship patterns and build different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre, giving space to be heard and understood; this approach helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings like shame, anxiety or low self-esteem. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and to build practical steps towards those goals.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their needs and preferences. That means talking about what matters, trying things out, and adjusting the way sessions are run as goals evolve.

Please confirm session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as arranging appointments around work breaks or reducing travel time. It also lets people choose shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on what they need on a given day. Registered and accredited professionals can discuss how to shape sessions so they match practical routines and emotional goals.
