Background and approach

She also draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful patterns and find practical ways to change them. Sessions are shaped around each person rather than a fixed formula. With five years of professional experience, Raghbhir frames therapy as a collaborative process.

She listens for what people value and helps them set achievable goals. The pace and focus are adjusted as needs change. Raghbhir is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

She works with English and Punjabi speakers and can support people who live outside the United Kingdom. Therapy can be offered through video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Raghbhir asks people to describe their current concerns at the start so sessions focus on practical next steps and on building skills for coping day-to-day.

How somatic and talking therapies work online

Somatic work helps people notice how feelings and memories show up in the body. Online sessions can include gentle guidance to tune into sensations, breathing and movement alongside talking about what is happening. This can help with issues such as trauma responses, stress and chronic pain.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, addiction patterns and when people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. Sessions are collaborative and can shift over time if something else feels more helpful.

Online formats offer flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to arrange therapy around work, caregiving or travel. Many people find remote sessions reduce practical barriers and let them keep continuity of care while working on body awareness, values-based goals and practical coping skills.
