About Bupinderjeet

Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years' therapeutic experience. She works with people who are coping with anxiety, stress and depression, and she also supports those facing relationship and family challenges including blended family issues.

She has spent almost 20 years working within NHS services and has experience in adult mental health settings. Her background includes work as a mental health practitioner for staff wellbeing and supporting people affected by sexual assault and incest trauma.

Vicky uses a person-centred way of working. She focuses on building a trusting relationship and listens to what matters most to each person. Sessions are practical and direct, with space to talk through feelings and day-to-day problems.

Her practice pays attention to equality and diversity. Coming from a BAME background herself, she says this perspective informs how she works with different cultural and life experiences.

For people juggling family changes - such as stepfamily arrangements, co-parenting with an ex or mixed household routines - she offers support with communication, boundaries and the stresses that come with change. Vicky also helps with grief, trauma, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and career concerns.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns formed in early life. Online sessions using this approach look at how those patterns affect current family and partner connections and what practical changes might ease tension.

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without directing and helps the client name goals and next steps, which can be useful for dealing with stepfamily roles and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy weeks, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera for a session. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer these practical options, and this therapist will explain available formats when you begin the matching process.
