About Sandeep
Counsellor Sandeep Panesar is a member of NCPS and has three years of professional experience. She works with relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, stress, anxiety, grief, parenting questions, anger, coping with life changes and coaching needs. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Punjabi and she practises in the United Kingdom.
Sandeep uses straightforward talking sessions to help people make sense of current problems. She draws on client-centred methods to listen without judgement and lets people set the pace and focus of the work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used when practical steps and changes in thinking appear useful for day-to-day coping.
Attachment-based ideas feature where past relationship patterns affect present feelings and behaviour. This can be helpful for those dealing with adoption, foster care, attachment questions or blended family issues. Sandeep also supports people facing domestic violence impacts, isolation, guilt and shame, and multicultural or relationship structure concerns such as polyamory and non-monogamous arrangements.
Sessions aim to be clear and goal-focused when needed, and more open-ended when exploring deeper emotional themes. She helps people work through parenting strain, pregnancy and childbirth related worries, and young adult transitions. Practical tools and reflection form part of her approach.
Getting started involves a short questionnaire and booking a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens without directing the whole conversation. It is useful when someone needs time to talk and to choose topics at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often involves short practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and coping with anxiety, stress or low mood.
Attachment-based therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape reactions now. It can help when patterns from upbringing or foster and adoption experiences affect current relationships and parenting.
Deciding which mix of approaches to use is part of the first sessions. The counsellor will work together with the person to agree what fits their needs, goals and preferences and may shift the plan as the work continues.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions that match a work break or childcare routine.
