Krishna Ubhi, BACP

Krishna Ubhi is an accredited counsellor and psychological therapist based in the United Kingdom who combines a direct, practical style with compassionate support. With 11 years of experience, she works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and the challenge of life changes. Krishna supports survivors of domestic and sexual violence as well as people living with the long-term effects of childhood and adulthood trauma, PTSD, relationship breakdown, caregiving stress, and issues around body image and control.

She holds BACP registration - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is registered with BAATN, a network that supports therapists from Black, African and Asian backgrounds. Krishna is fully insured and brings additional lived and professional experience to her practice: she is a stage 3 invasive breast cancer survivor, a qualified foreign lawyer and McKenzie Friend who can provide informed support in family and employment law contexts, and a body language coach. She is culturally aware of Indian and Asian backgrounds and draws on that understanding in her work.

Krishna offers flexible short-term and long-term counselling, including evening appointments when available. She works in a direct, honest way that avoids vague reassurance - offering clear feedback, gentle challenge, and practical tools to help clients spot unhelpful patterns and take responsibility for change. All clients are welcome and she is available to schedule sessions by message to find a suitable time.

Trauma-informed care and practical skills online

Krishna Ubhi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a straightforward, practical manner. She offers trauma-informed therapy that focuses on understanding how past and recent traumatic experiences affect emotions, relationships, and daily functioning - an approach that supports survivors of domestic and sexual violence, PTSD, and complex trauma. She also uses skills-focused work that emphasizes coping strategies, communication tools, and behavioural change to address anxiety, stress, addictions, and family or relationship problems; this practical coaching can include attention to nonverbal communication given her background as a body language coach.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Krishna works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so that work remains targeted and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to access support - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or differing time zones. Licensed professionals can provide consistent, ongoing care in formats that suit each client, making it possible to begin and continue meaningful work even when in-person sessions are not practical.
