About Bupinderjeet

Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner offers practical, person-centred counselling for people dealing with anger and related concerns. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Vicky draws on 18 years of therapeutic experience and a long career supporting adult mental health in the NHS. Her approach focuses on building a trusting relationship first. Sessions are shaped around the person's needs, with attention to stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief and self-esteem. She also works with issues such as parenting, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and career challenges. Vicky uses client-centred methods alongside attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and strong emotions. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused or narrative techniques to help people find practical next steps. These approaches are chosen to fit the individual rather than applied rigidly. Her background includes nearly 20 years working across NHS services and specific roles supporting staff wellbeing and sexual assault and incest trauma work. She holds BACP accreditation which is noted as a professional credential. Vicky welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and has particular interest in equality and inclusion. Sessions are offered in English and she works from a UK practice context. Prospective clients are invited to book via the site and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Attachment-based work looks at how past and current relationships shape emotional reactions. It can help people understand why anger or trust issues repeat and how to create different patterns moving forward. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room, offering a supportive, non-judgemental space to talk through worries and figure out priorities. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants change but feels stuck; it uses guided conversation to strengthen motivation and plan achievable steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help decide which methods to try. Plans are revisited as therapy progresses so the approach stays aligned with what is most useful for the client.

If you are considering online sessions, please check the session format options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when a full appointment would be hard to manage. It can also offer flexibility around appointment times. Confirm which formats are available for this therapist when you make your booking.
