About Rupinder

Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief and parenting challenges. She works with issues such as relationship strain, low self-esteem, anger, addictions and trauma. Rimpy offers a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk things through and begin to make sense of their feelings.

Her approach is practical and warm. Sessions focus on building coping strategies and on finding small steps that bring relief.

Background and approach

She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try new ways of relating, and strengthen emotional awareness. Conversations are paced to suit each person’s needs and readiness. Rimpy draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current responses.

She also uses client-centred ways of working to keep the conversation rooted in what matters to the client. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to change thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. She offers weekly sessions that can be short term or longer term, and she provides phone and online work as well as face-to-face meetings.

Sessions are adapted to fit each client’s life and goals. Rimpy speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi, and she works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. People come to Rimpy when they need practical help with parenting, coping with life changes, dealing with loss or managing anxiety and panic.

Her aim is to help clients find their own answers, build resilience and feel more in control of day-to-day life.

Online support

Approach-led online counselling that fits your life

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and relationships, helping people understand patterns of closeness, abandonment and emotional reactivity. This approach can be useful for those dealing with attachment issues, relationship strain or caregiving stress.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session and focuses on listening, empathy and personal discovery. It helps people voice difficult feelings, build self-awareness and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to shift behaviour. These methods suit people who want concrete tools to manage anxiety, panic, low mood or workplace stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together you will pick or blend methods that match your goals and preferences. This collaborative process aims to make therapy feel relevant and manageable for each person.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or brief emotional support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments, and to keep contact steady while life changes.
