About

About Surji

Surji Cair is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She offers one-to-one support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes. Surji uses a person-centred approach and focuses on helping people build on their own strengths to move forward.

She meets people where they are and treats them as the expert in their own story. Sessions are aimed at making small, manageable changes and at finding clearer ways to cope with daily pressures.

Background and approach

Surji emphasises listening, empathy and practical problem-solving in her work. Surji has helped people address a wide range of concerns beyond mood and adjustment, including addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, relationship and family stresses, career questions and compassion fatigue. She also lists LGBT and bipolar among areas she supports, and approaches each person without judgement.

Her training in person-centred counselling means conversations are guided by the client’s priorities. The therapist offers coaching-style support when helpful, and works at a pace chosen by the client. Surji encourages people to try honest exploration of feelings and to test small changes between sessions.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and Surji aims to make it straightforward. She supports international clients in English and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support

How evidence-based methods work online

Surji describes her approach as person-centred and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Person-centred work focuses on listening carefully, reflecting what matters to the client and helping them identify their own solutions. This approach is often helpful for people who want a space to clarify feelings and find their own direction.

She also uses practical coaching elements when useful, which means setting small goals, trying out new behaviours between sessions and reviewing progress together. Coaching-style work can suit people dealing with career choices, motivation, or making changes after loss or burnout.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which techniques fit best with a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist review what is helping and change direction when needed.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people access a therapist who is based in the United Kingdom while living elsewhere, since international clients are accepted.
