Surjeet Bahra
Empathetic, practical therapy for everyday challenges
About Surjeet
Surjeet Bahra draws on fifteen years working in mental health across the United Kingdom. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life changes. Surjeet writes therapy plans to fit each person rather than using one fixed method.
She listens in a respectful, non-judgemental way and focuses on what matters most to the client. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, better communication and steadier mood.
Background and approach
Surjeet pays attention to how early relationships shape present difficulties and to practical steps that reduce daily strain. Common concerns she helps with include relationship strain, family problems, parenting challenges, bereavement and intimacy-related issues. She also works with addictions, bipolar mood problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, and trauma or abuse reactions.
Her practice pays particular attention to attachment issues and patterns such as codependency, commitment worries, avoidance and problems with control. She also supports people facing fertility strains, guilt, shame or feelings of emptiness. Sessions combine tried approaches such as client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused planning.
Motivational interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons to change. Surjeet aims for therapy that feels practical and relevant to everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Surjeet commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems. Client-centred therapy is a core part of her work and means sessions focus on listening deeply and following the person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and to try practical experiments that change mood and behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Surjeet will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit best with a person's goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs and priorities evolve, and she will check in regularly to make sure the plan still feels useful.
Online sessions offer flexibility and can make regular therapy easier to sustain. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter, more frequent contact or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel.
