About Vin
Vin Pachu is a counsellor who combines person-centred and psychodynamic approaches to create a steady, non-judgemental space. He draws on three years of experience and a background of volunteer work in the UK charity sector. He also holds a BACP credential, which is shown as BACP.
He has supported people affected by homelessness and those navigating the refugee system. He has worked with services addressing healthcare inequalities and volunteers with an addiction harm reduction organisation.
Background and approach
That experience informs his practical approach to recovery and coping. Vin also brings coaching experience and certificates in coaching to therapy. He helps people facing career changes, workplace stress, and life transitions.
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings. He offers help for addictions and process addictions such as porn, exercise, and gambling. He works with concerns around eating and food-related issues, body image, and control issues.
He also addresses mood disorders and post-traumatic stress. Additional focus includes attachment issues, guilt and shame, men's issues, multicultural concerns, and building self-love and self-esteem. Vin aims to support people to make practical changes while understanding the history behind their difficulties.
Work is steady, grounded, and aimed at usable progress.

Focus areas and approaches
What Vin works with
Everything Vin lists, in their own terms.
Online support
He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that come from past experiences and relationships. That can help when people notice repeated behaviours or emotional reactions they want to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences with the client and adapt methods to fit what feels most useful and manageable.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging which gives practical flexibility. Video calls let you have near face-to-face conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins, live chat offers a written back-and-forth, and text messaging supports brief notes and ongoing reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties, and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
