About Rajbinder
Rajbinder "Raj" Kalirai is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years of professional experience in the UK. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and addictions. Raj also supports people facing grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting pressures, and work-related strain.
Her approach is practical and emotion-focused. Raj uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Sessions centre on naming difficult feelings and noticing the patterns behind them. She helps people recognise how emotions and attachment needs shape their responses.
Raj works with issues linked to attachment and identity, including adoption and foster care, abandonment, attachment difficulties and blended family challenges. She also addresses body image, co-morbidity, codependency, commitment and communication problems. Practical coping skills for ADHD, compassion fatigue and career stress are part of her work too.
Sessions are conversational and grounded in what clients say matters to them. Raj combines talking, reflective listening and simple behavioural steps to try out between meetings. The aim is to make emotional patterns clearer and give manageable options for change.
She offers sessions in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Raj uses EFT, ACT and attachment work online
Raj draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and name difficult emotions and the interaction patterns they create. EFT is often used when emotions are hard to put into words and when changing relationship responses matters.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and encourage practical steps consistent with those values, and Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship experiences shape current responses. Both approaches pair well with EFT when the focus is on feelings and connection.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raj discusses options with each person and agrees what to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. The choice of methods can shift as work progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and may allow shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when video is not convenient. Registered or accredited professionals often use these flexible arrangements to reduce travel, make scheduling easier and keep sessions manageable within a busy week.
