Param Sahni, BACP

Param Sahni helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. He presents as calm and approachable and aims to make starting therapy straightforward for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.

Param works in a Humanistic way, focusing on a respectful and accepting space for each person. He uses empathy and honesty to help people talk through painful memories, confusion about identity, and problems that affect day-to-day life. Sessions are conversational and paced to what feels manageable for the client.

He brings three years of clinical experience and professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs how he listens and responds to issues like addiction or grief without judgement. He also draws on his own cultural insight when supporting people from multicultural backgrounds.

Common topics he addresses include addiction to drugs or alcohol, family of origin issues, codependency, communication difficulties, feelings of guilt or shame, and challenges linked to immigration or prejudice. He also supports those dealing with life purpose, midlife transitions and men’s issues.

Sessions can be held in English, Hindi or Punjabi. People use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging depending on what fits their schedule. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Param aims to help clients find clarity and small, steady changes. He focuses on listening carefully, reflecting what he hears, and helping people choose practical next steps that suit their life.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions help

Param practises from a Humanistic perspective, which centres on listening closely and treating each person with acceptance and respect. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk about anxiety, grief or identity concerns and to build clearer self-understanding.

He also works practically on addiction-related problems and codependency by helping people identify patterns and small changes that feel achievable. These straightforward conversations focus on realistic steps rather than jargon, useful for dealing with drug and alcohol addiction or repeated relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right way to work is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adapt methods to fit their goals, background and daily life. Together they decide what feels most useful and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility: video calls let people see facial cues and body language, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging suits those who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments while focusing on steady progress.
