About Rita
Rita Sandhu is a BACP-registered counsellor with 13 years' experience working as an integrative therapist. She draws on a range of evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and other concerns. Rita aims to make the first step easy to take and offers steady, practical support for those looking for change.
Rita also has a long background in nursing and midwifery, which influences her approach to care. That experience contributes to calmness in difficult conversations and an ability to hold sensitive material without rushing. She uses that steadiness when helping people through grief, trauma and long-term health challenges.
Her practice includes work around relationships, self-esteem, sleep and parenting stresses. Rita supports people dealing with addiction, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD and work-related burnout. She also helps those negotiating identity questions, including LGBT issues, and people coping with life transitions such as adoption, ageing or chronic illness.
Rita draws on specific therapeutic methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based work. She adapts techniques to each person, focusing on practical steps that fit day-to-day life rather than jargon or untested promises. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused when that suits the person, or more exploratory where needed.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process to begin work with her. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It often uses simple exercises to build values-based action and can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early attachments affect current behaviour. It can be useful for people dealing with relationship difficulty, abandonment themes or attachment issues.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and some forms of addiction or compulsive behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rita will discuss methods and help identify which approaches match a person's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, check the specific session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people also find it simpler to maintain continuity when circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to an online setting and will explain practical arrangements when you start.
