Sanjay Badhan , BACP

Sanjay Badhan is a UK-licensed therapist with eight years of professional experience across multiple roles in mental health. He has worked in both group and one-to-one settings, offering face-to-face and online sessions, and brings focused experience supporting people through trauma and abuse, grief and loss, eating disorders, and depression. He has also supported many clients with autism, ADHD, and other cognitive-related challenges, approaching each person with sensitivity and respect.

As a person-centered practitioner, Sanjay believes in the uniqueness of every individual and prioritizes building a nonjudgmental connection that meets clients where they are. He aims to help people grow within themselves by providing compassionate support during the often intimidating first steps of self-exploration. His background in psychology informs his work, allowing him to draw on theory to help clients examine patterns and process different aspects of their lives through clear, comprehensive concepts.

Sanjay holds the BACP credential, reflecting professional recognition within the United Kingdom. He focuses on creating a supportive therapeutic environment for issues including relationships, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and life transitions, while also addressing specific concerns such as attachment, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, post-traumatic stress, and fatherhood-related matters.

Client-Centered Support and Online Access

Sanjay primarily uses client-centered therapy, a humanistic approach that emphasizes empathy, respect, and unconditional positive regard. This method supports clients in exploring their feelings and finding their own solutions, and it can be helpful for navigating grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and coping with life changes.

He also draws on his background in psychology to integrate theory-informed insights into sessions, helping clients make sense of patterns in thinking and behavior. This complementary focus can aid work on issues such as trauma responses, attachment concerns, and emotional regulation without imposing a single prescribed method.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sanjay treats that as a collaborative process. He works together with each person to identify which methods and strategies best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home or during travel. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these remote methods to maintain continuity of care and adapt to each client’s practical needs.
