About Bupinderjeet
Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 18 years of therapeutic experience. She works with adults who are coping with anxiety, stress and depression, and with people facing relationship and trauma-related issues.
Vicky uses a person-centred style that focuses on building a trusting working relationship. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens, reflects, and helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes long experience within the NHS in adult mental health and work supporting staff wellbeing. That clinical experience informs how she responds to distress and to change brought on by life events, illness, caring responsibilities and bereavement.
She draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, narrative therapy and solution-focused techniques to help people make sense of difficult patterns and set achievable goals. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants support to move through ambivalence about change.
Vicky says her cultural background shapes her interest in equality and diversity, and she welcomes a broad range of adults. Practical concerns commonly addressed include sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career stress and coping with major life transitions.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in how they relate to others and practise new ways of connecting.Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting. In remote sessions the counsellor follows the person’s lead and helps clarify priorities, which suits people who need time to find their voice about life changes.
Motivational interviewing supports change by exploring a person's own reasons for and against change. It works well for issues such as addictions, shifting routines or making career moves because it helps build commitment step by step.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods as needed so sessions fit the client’s needs.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting meetings around study or work, avoiding travel, shorter check-ins when time is limited and choosing sessions that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals offer online counselling, and this way of working can be organised to suit everyday life commitments.
