Sukhbinder Yip, BACP

Sukhbinder Yip offers compassionate, person-centered counselling and supervision, recognising that reaching out for support is a significant and courageous step. She creates a non-judgmental space where people can explore whatever is troubling them and work toward practical, meaningful change. Her practice supports individuals facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns and depression, and also addresses related issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, domestic violence, eating and food-related struggles, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

She is an accredited registered member of the BACP, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and holds specialist diplomas in clinical counselling supervision and in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Sukhbinder has undertaken extensive training in domestic and sexual violence and has more than thirteen years of professional experience working with children, young people and adults. Her therapeutic style is rooted in a client-centered approach that fosters strong rapport, empathy and a nurturing atmosphere.

In practice she combines client-centered work with evidence-informed methods including CBT, psychodynamic therapy and solution-focused techniques, tailoring interventions collaboratively to each person’s needs. She values ethical boundaries and equal opportunities, has completed safeguarding training with the NSPCC, and brings honesty, dedication and respect for personal autonomy to her work. Sukhbinder aims to help people reconnect with confidence, resilience and a sense of normality by identifying strengths and supporting practical choices that move them toward positive outcomes.

Throughout the therapeutic journey she treats each person as the expert of their own story and encourages active participation in the process. Her goal is to empower individuals to transform challenges into manageable steps and to restore wellbeing and self-trust over time.
