About Bupinderjeet
Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner is a counsellor with 18 years of therapeutic experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress and depression, and helps those dealing with grief, trauma and relationship worries. Her approach aims to make conversations feel simple and direct so people can talk about what matters most to them.
Vicky practises a person-centred style that focuses on building trust. She listens first and follows the pace that each person needs. That means sessions centre on the person’s priorities rather than a set programme.
Her background includes nearly 20 years in NHS roles across adult mental health and staff wellbeing. That experience shapes how she supports people through bereavement, chronic illness, caregiver strain and end-of-life concerns. She also has experience working with trauma and sexual assault survivors.
Vicky pays close attention to cultural difference and equality and welcomes a diverse range of people. She combines person-centred care with practical methods such as solution-focused thinking and narrative work to help people make small, useful changes.
Sessions often look at coping strategies for sleep, eating and daily routine, and at ways to manage strong emotions like anger and shame. She also uses motivational approaches to support people facing addictions, low self-esteem or life transitions. The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to make choices that suit their lives.

How her approaches shape online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect how people connect now; it can help with grief, intimacy concerns and attachment issues by making patterns easier to name. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, which suits people who want a gentle, respectful space to talk through difficult feelings. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or trying to manage behaviours like addictions or unhealthy habits by exploring ambivalence and building commitment to small steps.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can change as progress unfolds and priorities shift.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking without being on camera or who need sessions that slot into a busy day.
