About Surjeet
Surjeet Bahra is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 15 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self‑esteem and confidence, and problems with motivation. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day pressures and improve how people relate to themselves and others.
She also helps with depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains and coping with life changes. Surjeet lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, codependency, blended family difficulties, communication and control problems, and fertility concerns. The profile notes work around drug and alcohol addiction and personality-related issues like avoidant or dependent tendencies.
Her way of working draws on attachment-based thinking and client-centred practice. That means conversations look at how past relationships shape current ones, and sessions are guided by the person's own goals and experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools and solution-focused methods are used to set manageable steps and habits.
Surjeet uses motivational interviewing to help people address readiness for change and keep moving forward. Practical tasks and thought exercises are offered between meetings when helpful. People can expect clear, direct conversation about patterns and small, achievable actions.
She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early and close relationships affect current feelings and interactions. It helps when past patterns make relationships hard or when people struggle with trust and closeness.Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and pace. The counsellor listens with minimal direction and supports the client to find their own solutions and make sense of feelings.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with specific exercises. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating problems and for building new routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will choose techniques to try and review how those feel in practice.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel. They can also mean shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that helps with concentration or bandwidth.
