About Rajbinder
Rajbinder "Raj" Kalirai welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief or changes in life. She frames sessions as a calm space where someone can talk through difficult feelings and start finding small, practical steps forward. Raj uses clear language and a warm manner to help people feel heard and understood.
With eight years of experience, Raj draws on several talking therapies to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and commit to values-based actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is another common tool she uses to look at patterns and try out different responses. Raj also works from a client-centred perspective, keeping the conversation focused on what each person brings and what they want to change.
Her background includes supporting people with trauma, anger and addictions as well as issues around intimacy, parenting and family stress. She is comfortable speaking English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. People who choose Raj can expect straightforward conversations about goals and practical ways to cope between sessions.
She names small steps and checks what works in real life. That approach makes it easier to measure progress and adjust the plan as needed. To begin, Raj asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.
She also uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How Rajbinder works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raj will discuss what matters to the person, their goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted based on what helps in day-to-day life.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family demands, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use ACT, CBT and attachment-based work, often use online sessions to help people practise skills between meetings and bring changes into everyday routines.
