About Rupinder

Rupinder "Rimpy" Sandhu is a BACP psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She works with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, trauma and abuse, and codependency. Sessions are aimed at helping people name their feelings, manage stress, and find clearer ways of coping in daily life.

Rimpy focuses on straightforward, conversational therapy. She listens without judgement and helps people make sense of painful memories or confusing emotions. Conversations are used to build awareness of personal patterns and to spot practical steps that reduce overwhelm and support better choices.

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred work keeps the person’s experience central, while cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of reacting. These approaches are applied to issues such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and living around another person’s moods or drinking.

Rimpy offers both short-term and longer-term work, and she also sees telephone clients. Sessions are usually weekly and scheduled at the same time. People who speak English, Hindi or Punjabi can work with her, and she accepts international clients.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape present reactions and helps people understand patterns that affect closeness and boundaries. It is useful for people who find themselves giving too much or who struggle with abandonment fears.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens and reflects to help someone name feelings and priorities, which can be useful for people unsure where to start.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is practical and often used for anxiety, panic, low mood and day-to-day coping skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and different aims emerge.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking. Her biography mentions telephone sessions and also short-term and long-term work, so confirm whether video or other formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight.
