Rupinder Sagoo, BACP

Rupinder Sagoo is a BACP-accredited counselling psychotherapist with 25 years of clinical experience. She practices a holistic and integrative form of psychotherapy that attends to the whole person - emotional, psychological, physical, relational, and lifestyle factors are all considered when working towards lasting change. BACP accreditation indicates accredited membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, demonstrating adherence to professional standards and ongoing development.

Rupinder works with both short-term and longer-term therapy, tailoring the approach to each individual's needs rather than applying a single method to everyone. Her work is informed by the idea that multiple aspects of life interact to shape wellbeing, and she often combines therapeutic conversation with practical attention to areas such as sleep and rest patterns, diet and nutrition, life meaning and purpose, and the quality of support networks.

She draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches and integrates them according to client goals. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Systemic Therapy.

Rupinder supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and bereavement, low self-esteem, depression, LGBT issues, family challenges, sleep difficulties, career concerns, coping with life changes, and coaching needs. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, commitment difficulties, communication problems, responses to natural or human-caused disaster, dissociation, divorce and separation, and domestic violence, among others.

Her formal training includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from Staffordshire University (2011-2013), a Postgraduate Certificate in Holistic and Integrative Psychotherapy accredited by CMA and NCIP (2014-2016), an Advanced Certificate in CBT (2001), and an Advanced Certificate in Counselling (1995). Rupinder is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and maintains a practice grounded in professional standards and reflective practice.

She offers a supportive therapeutic environment where people can explore challenges, build understanding, and work toward meaningful change. Rupinder accepts new clients, including international clients, and adapts her work to each person’s circumstances and goals.
