About Surjeet
Surjeet Bahra is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, self-esteem, depression and addictions. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma and life changes.
She aims for straightforward, person-focused sessions where people can talk through what matters to them. Surjeet uses practical conversation, collaborative goal-setting and clear steps to help with day-to-day problems. She adapts the pace to each person’s needs and keeps things direct and understandable.
Surjeet draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to centre the person’s own perspective, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to work on thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. These approaches are used to address things like communication problems, commitment worries, codependency and intimacy issues.
People come to her for help with a broad set of concerns including eating and sleeping problems, parenting stresses, drug and alcohol addiction, fertility worries, guilt and shame, and personality-related difficulties such as avoidant or dependent traits. She also supports those dealing with emptiness or difficulty forgiving themselves or others.
Surjeet asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging the first session. Sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients who speak English are accepted.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to identify repeating cycles in friendships and romantic relationships and to try different responses in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s perspective at the core of sessions. It involves open listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals and make decisions that feel right to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and gives practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Choices about methods are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their approach to suit the pace and practicalities of someone's daily life.
