About Sanjay
Sanjay Badhan welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. He aims to meet each person where they are and to offer calm, steady support while people talk through painful experiences. Sessions are grounded in respect and in simple, clear language so conversations are easy to follow on a phone or during a short break.
Sanjay uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on the individual's experience.
Background and approach
He listens carefully and reflects back what he hears so people can make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings. Over time this approach can help with low mood, anxiety, and problems tied to past trauma or loss. He has eight years of professional experience in mental health roles.
That work has included both one-to-one sessions and group formats, delivered face to face and online. That range means he is comfortable helping people who want either longer therapy or shorter, focused support. Clients have come with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, eating and food-related issues, depression, ADHD and stress.
Additional areas he works with include attachment issues, fatherhood questions, obsessive thoughts and post-traumatic stress. He also supports people navigating career changes, relationship strains and self-esteem problems. He trained in psychology and holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Sanjay describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people find practical ways to manage daily life while exploring deeper causes of distress.

Approaches Sanjay lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Sanjay combines his person-centred stance with psychological knowledge from his training in psychology. That background means he can use theory to help people understand patterns such as repetitive thoughts, attachment concerns or eating-related difficulties. He discusses options with clients and adapts the work to match their goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for fuller face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break during the day. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, for people who prefer typing, or for those who want to reflect between messages. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
