About Rita
Rita Sandhu is a BACP accredited counsellor who blends practical talking therapies to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life. She writes simply and listens closely, aiming to make sessions approachable for someone who is tired, worried or finding sleep elusive.
Rita draws on 13 years of clinical practice alongside a long career in nursing and midwifery. That background shapes how she works - calm communication, clear structure and attention to physical as well as emotional needs. She offers support for stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and for issues that disrupt rest such as sleep problems and coping with major life changes.
In sessions she uses goal-focused techniques and open conversation to help people notice patterns and try new ways of handling difficult feelings. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current responses, and client-centred methods that put the person’s experience at the heart of the work.
Rita helps with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, eating and body image, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She is experienced supporting those coping with chronic illness, ageing-related worries and cancer-related stress.
Sessions are offered in English and Rita accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are paid via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice what matters most to them and take small, practical steps toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and for getting sleep routines back on track.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own pace and solutions. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through life changes, grief or low mood without being steered by the therapist.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rita will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break and make regular appointments simpler to keep. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking to know what is offered. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods effectively across distance, and Rita aims to help people integrate practical strategies into everyday routines.
