About Surji
Surji Cair is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She introduces herself in a warm, straightforward way and aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure. Surji works from a person-centred approach and believes clients are the experts on their own lives.
She focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people identify their strengths. Sessions are intended to help someone regain more fulfilment and handle everyday challenges.
Background and approach
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, career concerns, bipolar, compassion fatigue and LGBT matters. The emphasis is on practical conversations rather than labels.
Surji says taking the first step takes courage and she aims to offer steady support through that process. In sessions she prioritises pacing, empathy and working at a client’s own pace. She helps people notice what already works for them and develop small, doable changes.
If someone wants to begin, Surji asks them to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there they can schedule according to availability and discuss how they would like to approach their work together.

How Surji works online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques include straightforward, goal-focused work that helps people identify patterns and try new ways of coping. Such approaches are often short-term and focus on measurable changes, which can suit people wanting practical tools for anxiety or mood concerns.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they will try different ways of working and adjust the plan as needed so the approach fits the person rather than the other way round.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. The main practical benefits are flexibility and easier fitting of sessions into daily life - for example quieter timings during a lunch break, shorter check-ins on busier days, or not needing extra travel time. Many people find online work makes regular therapy more possible alongside family and work commitments.
