About Sukhbinder
Sukhbinder Yip is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression. She also supports people with attachment concerns, body image, eating and food-related issues, panic and mood problems.
Sukhbinder uses a person-centred way of working that invites people to lead the conversation. She listens and helps clients identify what matters most to them. From there she introduces practical approaches that fit each person's situation and goals.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas. That mix allows short-term practical tools and moments of deeper reflection. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in everyday routines.
She has worked extensively with domestic and sexual violence matters and has many years' experience supporting children, young people and adults in related settings. Her BACP membership is recorded as BACP on her profile.
Sukhbinder aims to help people regain confidence and a sense of normality after difficult events. She works collaboratively, inviting people to choose which strategies to try and to reflect on what helps most. The focus is on clear, manageable steps rather than vague promises.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The counsellor uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
She commonly blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with a person-centred approach. CBT offers practical steps such as spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes, which can be discussed and practised between sessions. The person-centred element focuses on listening and using the client’s own priorities to guide which techniques are tried.She may also draw on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that recur in relationships or feelings. That helps when people want to understand why certain reactions keep happening, rather than just changing a single behaviour. Deciding which mix to use is collaborative; the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree next steps together.
The original profile does not list specific online formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to use written worksheets, screen-shared resources and in-session exercises to practise new ways of responding between appointments.
