About Raghbhir

Raghbhir Gandham is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with young adults facing pressures early in adult life, including addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, career worries, relationship problems, grief and anger.

She uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based methods to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps and learning skills to manage strong feelings. Raghbhir draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when these match a client’s needs.

Her style is collaborative and client-centred. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current reactions. That can help when someone feels stuck in cycles of control, dissociation, or problems with intimacy and communication.

Raghbhir also works with issues around body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and loss. She supports people dealing with abandonment, divorce or separation, domestic violence histories, and substance misuse by helping them build safety and practical coping steps day to day.

Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi. International clients are accepted. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help when life feels confusing or you keep avoiding important tasks or relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust them over time based on what works.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so it is important to confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around study, work or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. Some formats need less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can explain the practical setup and help plan a format that fits everyday life.
