Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu, BACP

Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered counsellor with 13 years’ experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns including jealousy. She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting challenges, addictions and trauma-related issues.

Rimpy understands that starting therapy can feel frightening. She creates a steady, non-judgemental space where people can name their feelings and talk about painful memories. She aims to help clients find coping strategies and greater self-awareness through gentle, practical conversation.

Her approach is tailored to the individual. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, whether short-term or longer-term work is required. The focus is on helping people access their own resources and make choices that feel right for them.

Rimpy uses a mix of therapy styles to match different problems. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships, client-centred ways to follow the client’s pace, and cognitive behavioural tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She also works with existential themes and relationship-focused methods when relevant.

She has experience helping with issues such as abandonment, codependency, control problems, shame and anger. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Punjabi, and she accepts clients from outside the UK. Practical session arrangements and frequency are discussed during the initial matching process.

How Rimpy’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships affect current trust and closeness. Online or remote sessions can help people talk through patterns of attachment and practice new ways of relating to others. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions and helps pace conversations so the client feels heard and supported. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviours to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as therapy progresses. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what the person needs in their everyday life.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work, childcare and travel, and making it easier to keep weekly appointments from different locations. The exact session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who practise these approaches, often find remote sessions allow steady continuity of care and make it easier to maintain progress between meetings.
