About Sukhbinder
Sukhbinder Yip is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and self-esteem. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse alongside related issues like panic, social anxiety and eating-related struggles.
She uses a person-centred style that aims to build rapport and practical trust. Sessions focus on listening, understanding current difficulties, and choosing ways of working together that feel useful to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques when they fit the issue at hand.
Sukhbinder has a background in supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence and has completed training relevant to safeguarding and working with diverse needs. Her BACP membership is noted in the UK context and she has experience working across different age groups including young people and adults.
In practice she invites people to be active in choosing counselling strategies. That can mean short-term focused work or longer conversations that look at patterns and past experiences. She discusses options and helps clients decide which approaches to try based on what they want to change.
Sessions tend to emphasise practical steps and building confidence. People often come to address feeling stuck, overwhelmed by life transitions, or struggling with guilt, shame or isolation. The aim is to identify strengths and use them to move forward in manageable ways.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their present concerns. The therapist listens closely and reflects what is said so clients can make sense of feelings and choices. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and feeling overwhelmed.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change patterns that keep problems like panic, social anxiety or low mood running.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that suit those aims. That collaborative process helps decide whether focused CBT techniques or more person-centred conversation is best for a given issue.
