Vijay (Jay) Sandher , BACP

Vijay (Jay) Sandher is a BACP-qualified therapist licensed in England, UK, with 6 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression, offering practical and compassionate support tailored to each person’s story. Vijay approaches therapy with the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives and already possess strengths that can be used to overcome current challenges. He listens for those strengths and helps clients build on them while navigating difficult emotions and life transitions.

Vijay values the courage it takes to reach out for help and aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences and develop new coping strategies. His practice also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, caregiving stress, chronic pain and illness, and relationship difficulties. By collaborating with clients on goals and steps forward, Vijay guides them toward more fulfilled and manageable daily living.

BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Vijay draws on evidence-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs and preferences, supporting people through both immediate difficulties and longer-term personal growth.

Online Care Using Attachment and Trauma-Focused Approaches

Vijay draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach helps people understand attachment needs, improve relationship dynamics, and build more secure ways of relating.

He also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of traumatic experiences, helping clients process difficult memories and reduce the ways trauma shapes daily life. Techniques are tailored to each person’s readiness and aimed at restoring a sense of safety and control.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vijay works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He listens to what matters most to the client and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Vijay is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, accommodate different communication preferences, and connect with licensed professionals from a distance while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
