About Bupinderjeet

Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. She uses a calm, person-centred style and aims to build a trusting working relationship. Vicky also helps with trauma, addictions, grief, codependency and other life changes. She communicates plainly and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

Vicky has 18 years of experience as a therapist, mainly working in adult mental health within the National Health Service. That background includes roles supporting staff wellbeing and work with sexual assault and incest trauma. She holds BACP registration, which she carries into her practice.

Her way of working is rooted in listening and following the client’s lead. Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her, and practical steps are agreed as needed. Approaches she draws on include attachment-based ideas, client-centred care, motivational interviewing, narrative work and solution-focused techniques.

Vicky is attentive to culture and diversity and says her own background informs this interest. She welcomes a range of people and brings direct NHS experience to appointments. Sessions aim to address immediate concerns while also looking at longer-term patterns such as attachment or codependency.

People typically start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging a session. The therapist works with clients in the United Kingdom and holds an established practice history in adult mental health.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps when someone notices repeating cycles in close relationships, including codependency. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience, using attentive listening and empathy to help someone feel heard and to set their own pace. Motivational interviewing is a practical way to look at change, weighing pros and cons and boosting a person’s own reasons to take steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, or make attending from a familiar setting simpler. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt attachment, client-centred and motivational interviewing techniques to remote conversations, focusing on clear communication and practical steps to support progress.
