About Sanjay

Sanjay Badhan offers calm, non-judgemental support for people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, eating and relationship concerns. He introduces himself plainly and listens first, helping clients find small, practical steps they can take between sessions. He works in English and carries a BACP credential, and he practises both online and in-person work across the United Kingdom.

Sanjay uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience at the centre of the work.

Background and approach

That means sessions focus on what matters most to the client and move at a pace they can manage. He aims to create understanding and to help people recognise patterns that keep them stuck. Over eight years in mental health roles, he has supported people with trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, eating and food-related issues, self-harm and sexual assault and abuse.

He has also worked with people who identify with autism or Asperger syndrome and with those navigating ADHD or obsessive-compulsive concerns. His clinical background in psychology informs how he uses ideas and theory during sessions. He combines that knowledge with a person-centred stance to help people make sense of difficult feelings and events.

Conversations might include looking at attachment, life purpose, fatherhood-related worries, career questions or social anxiety. Sanjay aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and respect. He supports young adults and other individuals through life changes, anger, self-esteem struggles and coping with loss.

He encourages people to take the next step at a pace that feels right for them.

How Sanjay uses person-centred work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, mirrors what is said and reflects feelings back so the client feels understood. This approach helps when someone is dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma or questions about identity and purpose.

Sanjay also draws on psychological principles from his background in psychology to help people map out patterns and make sense of difficult events. That means ideas and simple models may be used to clarify problems and to plan small, practical steps forward that fit the person's life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and it is collaborative. The therapist will check in about what is helpful and adapt methods to match goals, preferences and the pace the client wants. Sessions are shaped by what the person needs at each stage of therapy.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people with busy schedules or who prefer shorter, frequent contact.
