About Rajbinder
Rajbinder "Raj" Kalirai is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger. Raj also supports those dealing with depression, addictions, grief and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens to what matters to the individual and helps them sort through thoughts and feelings. Practical steps and reflective conversations are used to help people manage daily pressures and difficult emotions.
Raj combines several approaches to suit different concerns. She uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used to help people live by their values when situations feel overwhelming.
Attachment-based and Emotionally-Focused methods inform her work around relationships and connection. This can help people understand patterns from earlier relationships that affect current ones. Raj can talk through issues that arise in blended households, including step-parenting and merged routines, as part of individual therapy.
Sessions are delivered in plain language and aim to be practical. Raj speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. People who are looking for help with parenting, communication problems, or major life changes can use the short matching questionnaire to arrange a first session.
How Raj uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients focus on what matters to them and take action consistent with those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and making life changes when people feel stuck.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and managing stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy considers how earlier relationship experiences affect current responses. This can help when patterns from the past influence present partnerships and blended household dynamics.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Many people find remote appointments easier to fit around work and family life, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins on busy days. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt materials and exercises to work well across different online arrangements, and Raj will discuss what will work best for day-to-day life.
