Rupinder Sagoo , BACP

Rupinder Sagoo is a BACP-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with 25 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She practices a holistic, integrative form of therapy that considers emotional, psychological, physical, relational, and lifestyle factors rather than focusing solely on a single presenting issue. This whole-person perspective supports both short-term work aimed at specific goals and longer-term exploration to build lasting resilience.

Her approach is flexible and tailored - Rupinder combines evidence-based methods with attention to sleep, nutrition, relationships, meaning, and daily routines so that therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around. She draws on modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-informed practices, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused techniques, integrating these tools to match each person’s needs and goals.

Rupinder has worked with clients on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, LGBT concerns, family and blended family issues, sleep problems, career and life transitions, and coaching for personal development. She also has experience with themes such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, codependency, and domestic violence.

Her training includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from Staffordshire University (2011–2013), a Postgraduate Certificate in Holistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (2014–2016), an Advanced Certificate in CBT (2001), and an Advanced Certificate in Counselling (1995). As an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Rupinder offers experienced, compassionate support and accepts both local and international clients.

Rupinder uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT supports work with anxiety, low mood, and situations where avoidance has become a barrier to living well.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current partnerships and family life. It can be helpful for people struggling with trust, intimacy, abandonment, or repeated relational difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rupinder works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so that treatment remains person-centered.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone conversations, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access regular support around work and family commitments. These options increase flexibility, reduce travel time, and allow people to continue therapy from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the work to each client’s circumstances.
