About Manjinder

Manjinder Sanghera-Palmer is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and motivation issues. She also supports those wrestling with codependency, grief, addictions and parenting pressures.

Her sessions are conversational and person-centred. She listens to what matters to the client and helps people clarify their priorities. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns such as attachment or people-pleasing that get in the way.

Manjinder draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships influence feelings and behaviour. She uses client-centred practice to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s experience and choices. Together they explore relationship patterns, boundaries, and responses to stress.

Clients can expect support with everyday problems like sleeping, anger, body image and coping with life changes. She also works with longer-term concerns such as chronic illness, blended family issues, domestic violence and intimacy-related difficulties. The emphasis is on practical coping and clearer communication.

Her approach aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. She encourages straightforward goal-setting and regular review of progress. To begin, people are invited to use the site matching process and book an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape feeling and behaviour. Online sessions can be used to talk through patterns such as clinginess, avoidance or emotional distancing and practise new responses. Client-centred work keeps the focus on the client’s own concerns and choices, using open conversation to help people notice what matters and decide next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which ideas and exercises fit a client’s goals and preferences. That may mean trying different ways of working and checking in on what helps and what does not.

Confirm the current session formats before booking as none are listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or video conversations when travel is difficult. It also allows people to keep continuity if they move or are living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions useful for maintaining regular contact and practising changes between meetings.
