Sanjay Badhan , BACP

Sanjay Badhan is a UK-based therapist with eight years of professional experience across a range of mental health roles. He holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has delivered both group and one-to-one work in face-to-face and online settings. He has supported people through trauma and abuse, grief and loss, eating disorders, depression, and a variety of cognitive and developmental challenges including autism and ADHD.

Sanjay works from a person-centred perspective, emphasising empathy, respect, and nonjudgmental connection to help clients explore their experiences and build self-understanding. He combines this relational approach with insights from his background in psychology, using theory where it can clarify patterns and support practical change. His practice includes work on relationship and family difficulties, anger and self-esteem concerns, stress and anxiety, and life transitions such as career issues and parenting challenges.

Clients seeking support for post-traumatic stress, obsessive or compulsive patterns, self-harm, sexual assault recovery, or young adult and fatherhood issues will find a therapist who aims to meet them where they are and accompany them through the process of self-exploration and growth.

Person-Centred Care and Online Therapeutic Support

Sanjay uses client-centred therapy, a relational approach that emphasises empathy, active listening, and meeting each person without judgment. This method helps clients explore feelings, build self-understanding, and work through issues like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma by prioritising the client’s own goals and pace.

He also draws on a psychology-informed practice, applying theoretical concepts to help clients make sense of patterns in thinking, behaviour, and relationships. That background can be helpful for addressing eating and food-related concerns, attention differences such as ADHD, and attachment or developmental questions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sanjay treats this as a collaborative effort. He works with clients to identify what feels most helpful, adapting methods to fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single style.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists when in-person visits are difficult, and they allow sessions to fit into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care.
