Rita Sandhu

Rita Sandhu is a counsellor with 13 years' experience using a blend of approaches to help people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and life changes. She works in a straightforward way to help people talk through painful experiences and build practical skills for day-to-day life. Rita holds BACP registration, which is shown as MBACP (Accred).

Rita draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She adapts methods to fit each person's needs rather than applying one fixed style. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small steps that can make life easier.

Her background also includes many years working in nursing and midwifery in the United Kingdom. That experience informs a calm, attentive manner and an emphasis on clear practical support when people face health, caregiving or ageing concerns. Rita offers help with relationship stress, parenting challenges, career change and long-term conditions among other issues.

People come with a wide range of difficulties including addiction, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, self‑esteem and attachment issues. She also works with LGBT concerns, bereavement, compassion fatigue and trauma related to abuse or abandonment.

Rita accepts international clients and runs sessions through the service's booking process. To get started, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Rita works with practical approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based action. It is useful for anxiety, stress and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches skills to change them; it often helps with low mood, panic and sleep problems. Attachment‑based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating when trust or closeness feels hard.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. Rita will listen to what matters most and talk through different options. Together they agree a plan that suits the person's goals, whether that means learning short-term skills or working more deeply over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy week, reducing travel time and keeping appointments during work breaks. Others appreciate shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt techniques so they work well in an online setting.
