About Rupinder

Rupinder Sagoo is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with 25 years' experience in mental health. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also supports those facing career decisions and people from LGBT backgrounds. Sessions can address sleep and coping strategies alongside emotional concerns.

Rupinder uses a practical, integrative approach. She combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening. That mix lets her focus on thoughts and behaviours, while also attending to relationships and values.

She often looks beyond talking alone. Sleep patterns, nutrition, daily routines and relationship dynamics are discussed when they seem relevant. This helps to spot small, concrete changes that can make a difference in day-to-day life.

Rupinder has experience with a wide range of issues across short-term and longer-term work. She pays attention to patterns such as attachment difficulties, codependency, commitment worries, body image and separation or divorce. Practical coping skills and behavioural experiments are commonly used alongside reflective discussion.

Her background includes postgraduate training in psychotherapeutic counselling and certificates in CBT and counselling. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom, and international clients are accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Approaches used and online working

Rupinder blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that focus on clear actions and values. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns and uses practical exercises to test alternatives. ACT helps people notice their values and try small committed steps toward what matters, even when difficult feelings are present.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current connections. That perspective helps when communication problems, commitment worries or codependency are part of the issue. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review goals, try different methods and adapt as they learn what helps most.

If you prefer online work, confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what is offered. The online option can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or travel. Some people find shorter check-ins by phone useful, while video sessions allow full conversation and shared exercises. Talk with her when you schedule to agree the best practical format for your routine and needs.
