Sukhdev Sembi

I work with individuals and couples experiencing emotional and relational difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, grief, shame, low self-esteem, and questions relating to sexual identity. My practice explores relationship patterns as well as cultural and family dynamics. I have specialist experience supporting clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, particularly those navigating cross-cultural identity and intergenerational family relationships. I offer therapy in Punjabi and can also work with clients who speak Hindi and Urdu.

My clinical experience includes working as a Parent Infant Psychotherapist at Northampton Parent Infant Psychotherapy, as well as roles within IAPT services, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and CWPCT. I have also supported vulnerable Asian women at the Sahil Project in Coventry and individuals experiencing complex bereavement at Myton Hospice, alongside work in other mental health settings.

I hold a PhD in Health Sciences from the University of Warwick, where I researched peer-support interventions for postnatal depression, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Infant Mental Health from the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. I have completed a Diploma in Clinical Supervision and am an accredited member of the BACP, adhering to its ethical framework. My work is grounded in integrative psychotherapy and informed by psychoanalytic and relational perspectives.
