Krishna Ubhi , BACP

Krishna Ubhi is an accredited counsellor and psychological therapist with more than a decade of experience supporting people through complex life challenges. She is registered with professional bodies including BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and with networks such as BAATN, reflecting her commitment to recognised standards of practice and cultural awareness.

Krishna works with survivors of domestic and sexual violence and abuse, and addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, stress, trauma, bullying, eating and substance-related difficulties, phobias, and PTSD. She also supports people coping with major life changes, health diagnoses, and issues rooted in childhood and adulthood trauma. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and midlife transition.

Her background includes experience as a qualified foreign lawyer and a McKenzie Friend, which informs practical support around family and employment law matters, and she is open about her own experience as a stage 3 invasive breast cancer survivor. Krishna brings cultural sensitivity to her work, drawing on an understanding of Indian and Asian contexts and her own Sikh Indian background. She is also a trained body language coach, which complements her therapeutic practice.

Krishna is known for a direct, honest style that focuses on clarity and measurable change. She works in a thoughtful, grounded way, challenging clients gently but clearly to help them spot unhelpful patterns and take responsibility for growth. Her practice emphasises practical strategies and deep work rather than reassurance alone.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Krishna draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs of each person. Trauma-informed therapy focuses on understanding how past harm affects thoughts, emotions, and relationships and offers ways to process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories. Attachment-focused work explores patterns of relating and closeness that develop from early life and helps clients build healthier connections and greater emotional regulation. Addiction-focused counselling addresses substance and behavioural dependencies with practical strategies to reduce harm, manage cravings, and rebuild routines and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Krishna works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and the most helpful methods, adjusting the plan as progress is made so the work remains relevant and respectful of each person’s pace.

Online therapy with Krishna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need for travel, offering continuity of care for people living in different locations or juggling work and family commitments.
