Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu

Rupinder “Rimpy” Sandhu is a BACP psychotherapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting strain and grief. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, low self-esteem and other concerns such as anger, eating issues and workplace pressures. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Punjabi and Rimpy works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Rimpy aims to make early conversations easier. She creates a calm space where people can name feelings and revisit painful memories at their own pace. The first sessions often focus on what matters most right now and on simple coping strategies for day-to-day life.

Her approach is collaborative and tailored. She draws from attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques to help clients understand patterns and try small changes. The focus is practical - noticing unhelpful thinking, improving relationships and practising new ways of coping.

Rimpy offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what people need. She also has experience with telephone sessions and arranges weekly meetings at consistent times. Her aim is to help people find greater self-awareness and the tools to manage life changes more effectively.

With 13 years of experience, Rimpy combines steady listening with straightforward interventions. She encourages clients to discover their own strengths and to take gradual steps toward more confidence and balance.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current connections; it is useful for issues like abandonment, attachment concerns and intimacy-related struggles. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, using empathic listening and reflection to help people find their own answers and build self-trust. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, low mood and panic attacks.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may blend approaches over time to suit changing needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also support shorter check-ins when that is helpful, or telephone conversations if someone prefers not to use video. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and which will work best for your routine.
