About Dilshini
Dilshini Sandhu is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience working with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in her work and frames sessions around relationship and emotional experience.
Dilshini uses simple, people-focused language and a collaborative style. She encourages clients to talk through what is most pressing and to notice how emotions and relationships shape everyday life. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than technical, with attention paid to cultural context and personal history.
Her background includes study in music and psychology, an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience from King’s College London, and training as a psychotherapeutic counsellor at the Metanoia Institute. She is currently undertaking a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy that examines implicit bias and therapeutic relationships across difference.
As a South Asian clinician, she recognises how cultural stigma and family expectations can affect help-seeking. She supports people to name those pressures and to consider how they affect feelings and choices. Practical topics she commonly addresses include communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and identity, and managing long-term health or caregiving stresses.
Dilshini often integrates creative elements and reflective exercises from her earlier work in music and expressive practice. She invites clients to test small changes between sessions and to review what helps. To begin, people use the site process to match and book an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what a person says, helping them feel understood and clearer about their own goals. It suits people who want a respectful, paced conversation to make sense of difficult feelings and life changes.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns within relationships. In one-to-one work, EFT helps people identify how emotional responses shape their behaviour and how to try different responses in day-to-day situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide whether Client-Centred methods, EFT, or a blend best fit a client's needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change as people try new ways of relating and tracking what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the profile here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health needs and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or longer sessions when there is time to explore a concern in depth.
