About Bupinderjeet
Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner BACP has 18 years' experience as a counsellor. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, ADHD and a wide range of other life challenges. Sessions are offered in English and she practises from the United Kingdom.
Bupinderjeet describes her style as person-centred. She aims to build a trusting relationship and listen without judgement. In practical terms she helps people talk through current problems, identify coping strategies and consider small steps they can try between sessions.
Her work includes attention to attachment-related issues and trauma. She uses approaches such as attachment-based work, narrative techniques, motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people reflect on patterns and set achievable goals. This includes supporting people with bereavement, career stress, compassion fatigue and long-term health concerns.
She also notes an interest in equality and diversity and welcomes people from a range of backgrounds. Her experience includes supporting staff wellbeing and working with survivors of sexual assault and incest, alongside many years delivering adult mental health counselling.

How her approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present patterns. It helps people understand attachment needs and how these affect current relationships and emotional responses.Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and helping the person lead the work. It supports those who want a non-directive space to talk through feelings and make their own choices.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and increase motivation for change. It is often used for issues such as addictions, behaviour change and making practical life adjustments.
Choosing an approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and may combine elements from different approaches as the work progresses.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means sessions can be scheduled across different times of day to suit routines.
