Param Sahni works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. He greets each person with warmth and listens without judgement. Param aims to make sessions simple and understandable so people can talk about what matters most to them.

Param uses a human-centred way of working that focuses on the person rather than labels. He places empathy, honesty and respect at the centre of sessions.

Background and approach

Conversations explore what feels stuck and what changes a person wants to make next. He brings cultural insight and lived experience to sessions, which helps when immigration, identity or multicultural issues are part of the concern. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, family of origin problems, communication difficulties and issues around sexuality and men’s wellbeing.

Param has helped people with drug and alcohol addiction, codependency, guilt and shame, and the practical strains of midlife and finding life purpose. He listens for patterns from the past that affect day-to-day coping now, then helps people try different ways of responding. He holds a BACP credential, which is a recognised UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Param has three years of experience and runs sessions in English, Hindi and Punjabi. He offers several online formats so people can choose what suits them best.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Param works from a human-centred stance that focuses on the person’s experience and what matters to them. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting back what is heard and helping people make small changes that feel manageable. It can help with anxiety, low mood and finding clearer direction in life.

He also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that look at patterns in how people cope. These techniques help identify repeated thoughts and behaviours, and then try practical alternatives to reduce stress and addictive urges. They are useful for issues such as addiction, codependency and coping with major life changes.

Choosing the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options with each person and decide together what methods are most likely to help, based on needs, goals and personal preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to use a camera. These formats make it simpler to arrange appointments from different locations and routines.
