About Balvinder
Counsellor Balvinder Mann is a BACP member with 22 years of experience. She works with trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, career concerns and depression, and she speaks English and Punjabi.
Balvinder offers straightforward, talking-based support. Sessions focus on what matters now. She listens, reflects and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life. Practical strategies are offered alongside space to talk through difficult feelings.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which looks at values and small steps to change, and Attachment-Based Therapy, which considers early relationship patterns that affect current behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness are also part of her approach, helping people to become more aware of thoughts and bodily reactions. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore ambivalence when people want to make changes.
Balvinder has experience across a wide range of concerns beyond the main areas. These include abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, body image, cancer and long-term illness, caregiver stress, chronic pain, codependency, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, emptiness and family of origin issues.
She practises in the UK counselling context while based in Kentucky and aims to help people clarify goals and find manageable steps forward. To begin, follow the site process to view online counselling options and book an initial session.
Approaches used in remote counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps towards those values. It is useful for low mood, anxiety about choices, and when someone feels stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It can help with trust issues, closeness and repeated relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree a plan with the client. This is a collaborative process that considers personal goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable right now.
Confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people continue work when medical or care commitments make attending face-to-face harder. Registered or accredited professionals can explain how they structure sessions to suit daily routines.
