About Bupinderjeet
Bupinderjeet (aka Vicky) Kooner is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 18 years of therapeutic experience. She has worked within adult mental health services in the United Kingdom and offers help for stress, anxiety and depression among other concerns.
Vicky commonly supports people who are dealing with relationship strain, family tensions, parenting pressures and the after-effects of trauma and abuse. She also works with issues such as grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Her approach is person-centred and attachment-informed. She focuses on building a trusting working relationship and listens for what is most important to the individual. Sessions aim to clarify immediate problems and the patterns that keep them repeating.
Vicky uses methods drawn from narrative and solution-focused work as well as motivational interviewing when appropriate. That means she will help a person tell and reframe difficult stories, sharpen practical goals and explore motivation for change. She adapts what she uses to the concerns that are raised in sessions.
She has substantial experience from nearly two decades in NHS adult mental health services and roles supporting staff wellbeing. That background informs how she manages stress, burn-out and compassion fatigue in conversations with clients. Sessions are conducted in English.

How sessions work
Approach and what online sessions involve
Vicky draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions and patterns. This approach can help when people notice repeated difficulties in close relationships or struggle with trust and connection.She also works in a client-centred way, focusing on listening and responding to what a person brings in session rather than imposing a fixed plan. That helps with emotional concerns like anxiety, low mood and the stress of parenting. Motivational interviewing is used alongside these approaches to clarify what a person wants to change and to support readiness for practical steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit the concerns, goals and preferences raised in sessions. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of conversational and structured techniques effectively in remote sessions, while still focusing on practical goals and emotional support.
