About Rupinder
Rupinder "Rimpy" Sandhu is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common household and personal strains, including stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, relationship difficulties and issues around self-esteem and anger.
Rimpy uses practical talking methods so people can name what feels hard. She helps clients recognise emotions that are hard to see and develop coping strategies for day-to-day life. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Punjabi, and she accepts international clients.
Her approach draws on attachment work and client-centred listening to help people understand patterns in relationships and caregiving. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. The therapy is conversational and focused on small, doable changes rather than technical language.
Rimpy also brings in ideas from existential and relationship-focused methods when conversations turn to meaning, roles and intimacy. She supports people dealing with trauma, bereavement, addictions, parenting strain and workplace pressures. Extra focus areas include abandonment, guilt and shame, codependency and caregiver stress.
Practicalities mentioned in her background note that she works with short-term and longer-term clients and has offered telephone work. She asks clients to agree a regular weekly slot for sessions. To begin, clients follow the online matching steps and schedule a first meeting.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Rimpy commonly blends attachment-based work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, mood problems and panic attacks.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, what has helped or not helped before, and jointly decide which methods to try. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Her background notes telephone work alongside short-term and longer-term therapy, but current session formats should be checked before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around family and work commitments, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt conversation style, homework tasks and pacing to suit life at home while keeping the focus on managing symptoms, repairing relationship patterns and building coping strategies.
