Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner, BACP

Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner offers gentle, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She is a counsellor with BACP registration and 18 years of therapeutic experience. Vicky aims to build a calm, trusting connection so people can talk through what matters most to them.

Vicky draws on person-centred practice to help people feel heard and understood. She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, intimacy and sexual assault recovery. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress and the emotional impact of chronic illness. Her practice includes a focus on ageing and geriatric issues among other concerns.

Her background includes many years working within the UK National Health Service in adult mental health. That NHS experience informs how she structures sessions and follows up on progress. Vicky also has experience supporting staff wellbeing and has worked with sexual assault and incest trauma cases.

In sessions she uses straightforward, collaborative methods. Expect reflective listening, goal-focused conversations and practical ideas you can try between meetings. She is attentive to cultural diversity and brings that awareness into conversations about identity and difference.

People who choose Vicky often want a warm, consistent counsellor who listens and helps them make small changes. To begin, clients follow the site booking steps and schedule a session that fits their needs.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Vicky commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Attachment-Based work looks at how past relationships affect present connections and helps people notice patterns that cause distress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the person's pace so they feel understood and able to explore difficult topics. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons and strengths for making changes, which is helpful for addictions, lifestyle shifts and getting unstuck.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Vicky will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide what methods to try. She often blends listening-led sessions with goal-focused conversations so therapy stays practical as well as reflective.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support continuity of care when juggling work, caregiving or health appointments. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists with NHS backgrounds, commonly use these options to help clients keep therapy consistent alongside day-to-day demands.
