Rajbinder "Raj" Kalirai is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with young adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, depression and related concerns. Raj also helps people facing career uncertainty, issues around identity and intimacy, and the pressures of early adulthood.
Raj uses straightforward conversation to help people organise thoughts and make small, practical changes. She listens without judgement and encourages clear steps clients can try between meetings. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills to handle day-to-day pressure.
Her background combines different therapeutic ways of working. Raj draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to address patterns that keep people stuck. She mixes reflective discussion with hands-on strategies for thinking differently and noticing unhelpful habits.
Raj is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and mood, including issues such as substance use, grief, eating and body image, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and attachment-related issues.

How Raj uses different therapies for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and when someone feels stuck and unsure what to do next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that increase distress and trying small experiments to change them. It is practical and can help with depression, anxiety and everyday coping skills.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. It can help with intimacy, abandonment issues and problems that repeat in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Raj treats this as a collaborative process and helps clients decide which methods feel most useful. She will adapt methods to a person’s goals, background and what they want from sessions.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around study or work, avoiding travel time and making it easier to keep regular meetings. Some formats need less bandwidth and can be shorter check-ins, which can suit busy schedules. Registered or accredited professionals can then focus on the therapy itself rather than logistics.
