Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu, BACP

Rupinder "Rimpy" Sandhu is a BACP-registered psychotherapist who works with people facing a broad range of difficulties, including anxiety and depression, relationship problems, low self-esteem, anger management, bereavement and parenting challenges. The BACP credential indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects her adherence to professional standards.

She recognises that it can be frightening and difficult to talk about personal problems, revisit painful memories and express strong emotions. It is often hard to identify and name feelings, so she provides a safe, professional, supportive, personal, nonjudgmental and ethical therapeutic space to help clients explore their concerns.

Counselling with her is aimed at improving self-understanding and developing practical coping strategies for day-to-day life. Speaking with someone who is not connected to family or social circles can make it easier to relax and open up. Whether someone is struggling with immediate difficulties or wants to make longer-term changes, she adapts sessions to meet each person’s individual needs and works collaboratively to help clients access their own resources to make choices that foster greater self-awareness, self-empowerment and effectiveness in the world.

She believes people have answers within themselves and that her role is to help uncover those answers. She has supported individuals through meaningful change and offers short-term, long-term and telephone therapy. Sessions are arranged weekly and are usually held at the same time and in the same place.
