About Sukhbinder

Sukhbinder Yip is a counsellor with 16 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member, and she works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and listens without judgement.

Her background includes clinical counselling supervision and training in cognitive behavioural therapy, along with extensive experience in domestic and sexual violence work.

Background and approach

She has worked with children, young people and adults over many years and has completed safeguarding training with the NSPCC. Sukhbinder uses a person-centred style as her core approach. She focuses on building rapport and showing empathy so people can speak honestly about what is troubling them.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and on solution-focused and CBT techniques to identify practical steps. Together these approaches help with mood problems, panic, social anxiety, attachment difficulties, body image and issues linked to abuse or domestic violence.

Her way of working invites people to choose strategies that feel right for them. She highlights strengths, encourages responsibility for change, and supports steps towards greater confidence and stability.

How Sukhbinder’s approaches work online

Sukhbinder draws on person-centred work to create a respectful, listening space where people can speak about what matters to them. This approach focuses on building trust and understanding, which helps when dealing with grief, low self-esteem, trauma and relationship patterns.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to break down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into manageable steps. CBT is practical and can help with anxiety, panic and mood symptoms by teaching coping strategies and small behaviour changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means sessions are adjusted as needs change and as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing non-verbal cues matters. Phone sessions work when less bandwidth or being off-camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or when a flexible, low‑time commitment option is needed. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, while keeping the focus on steady progress and usable skills.
