About Sanjay

Sanjay Badhan is a counsellor who aims to help people tackle painful experiences and life changes. He works with adults facing issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, eating difficulties, depression, anxiety and stress. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, autism, relationship and career concerns.

He uses a person-centred approach that focuses on each person as an individual. Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and respectful, with time spent building a trusting connection.

Background and approach

The emphasis is on listening, understanding and helping people find their own way forward. Across eight years in mental health roles, Sanjay has worked in one-to-one and group settings, both face to face and online. That experience has shaped his practical, down-to-earth style and his comfort with different session formats.

His background in psychology informs how he frames issues and makes sense of patterns that keep people stuck. He draws on theory to help clients reflect on thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and to identify small changes that can feel manageable. Sanjay aims to meet people where they are and move at a pace that feels safe.

He encourages honest conversation about goals and obstacles so the work is useful and relevant to everyday life.

Ways of working Sanjay names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred care for online and remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a warm, accepting relationship where the client leads the pace and topics. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is heard and helps people explore feelings and choices. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, stress and relationship concerns because it prioritises understanding the person behind the problem.

Sanjay blends that person-centred work with a psychology-informed viewpoint. This means he may use simple psychological ideas to help clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour and to try small, practical changes. Together the counsellor and client decide which ways of working feel most helpful, and they revisit this as goals or circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps progress. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and brief check-ins by live chat or text are useful for short reflections or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
