About

Rajwinder is a registered and accredited cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) therapist with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). She has extensive experience of working with people with common and complex mental health difficulties. CBT and rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT) are Rajwinder’s core fields of expertise, where she provides specialised goal-oriented therapy to people to empower them to achieve their goals. Rajwinder also works with people who have experienced trauma using trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT). Rajwinder has also undertaken training to work with people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). 

Rajwinder graduated with an MBA from Durham University Business School and then entered the business world initially as a business associate and then on to a variety of other roles for the next years. Later, Rajwinder decided to change her career direction and started training to become a CBT/REBT therapist. This felt a better fit for her values and allowed her the opportunity to really make a difference to other people’s lives. This role now provides her the work satisfaction she was searching for. She is passionate about supporting people to use CBT and trauma work to learn ways of coping with their experiences and problems. Rajwinder has an empathetic nature, which helps her to understand the client’s world from their perspective and allows her to use CBT treatment interventions and tailored programmes as per her client’s diagnosis and needs. 

As a CBT therapist at Priory, Rajwinder has experience providing CBT to people face-to-face, online (Zoom) and in group settings. Rajwinder is a strong proponent of the rapid emotional change that cognitive behavioural therapies bring using the trans diagnostic CBT model. Rajwinder’s focus is to bring about positive lasting emotional, behavioural and mental change.
