About Sukhbinder
Counsellor (BACP) with 16 years' experience. Sukhbinder Yip works in the United Kingdom and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression.
Sukhbinder uses a person-centred approach and draws on cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. She also uses solution-focused techniques to help people identify practical steps. Sessions are described simply and directly as a place to bring what feels worrying and to talk it through together.
Her background includes a BACP accreditation and a specialist diploma in clinical counselling supervision. She has undertaken training in CBT and several years of work in the field of domestic and sexual violence. That experience includes work across children, young people and adults earlier in her career.
In practice she works collaboratively, inviting people to take an active role in choosing the strategies they try. Conversations tend to focus on recognising strengths, looking at thoughts and behaviours, and testing small changes that can ease day-to-day strain.
The approach suits people who want direct, conversational help with mood, panic, relationship-related stressors and issues around self-image. Sessions also address attachment concerns, eating and body image issues, isolation and feelings of guilt or shame.
To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centred work places the person’s perspective at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens for the client’s priorities and helps them name what matters most, which is useful for grief, low mood and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In sessions this often means noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioural experiments and practising alternative ways of responding to anxiety and panic.
Psychodynamic ideas are used to explore recurring relationship patterns and early attachment concerns. This can help when people want to understand why certain feelings and reactions keep returning over time.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try things together and adjust methods based on what helps most. The client’s preferences and practical needs help shape which techniques are used.
Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing format and scheduling happens during the initial matching and booking steps.
