Sanjay Badhan, BACP

Sanjay Badhan is a United Kingdom based therapist with eight years of professional experience across varied roles in mental health. He is registered with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has worked in both group and one-to-one settings, offering support face to face and online. He combines practical experience with a background in psychology to help clients explore difficult life experiences and find clearer ways forward.

Sanjay has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, eating disorders, and depression, and has substantial experience working with clients on the autism spectrum, ADHD, and other cognitive-related difficulties. His practice also addresses relationship and family challenges, stress and anxiety, anger and self-esteem concerns, career issues, and transitions that come with life changes.

As a person-centred practitioner he emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and aims to meet each client without judgement. He values the uniqueness of every individual and seeks to connect on a level that helps clients feel understood. Drawing on psychological theory where helpful, he combines listening and collaborative exploration to support growth and clearer self-understanding.

Person-Centred and Theory-Informed Online Therapy

Client-centred therapy is at the heart of Sanjay Badhan's approach. This method focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental space where clients lead the pace of exploration and the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening. It is well suited to people seeking support for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns.

Alongside a person-centred stance, Sanjay draws on his background in psychology to apply theory-informed ideas when they help the client make sense of thoughts, patterns, and behaviours. This complementary perspective can be useful for understanding trauma responses, eating and food-related issues, and cognitive differences such as autism and ADHD.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Sanjay works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He helps clients try different ways of working and adapts therapy as understanding deepens.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, with sessions available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to arrange appointments around work, family, or mobility needs and allow clients to access support from their preferred location while working closely with registered professionals and therapists.
