About Param
Param Sahni is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. He welcomes people from diverse cultural backgrounds and speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi. Param works in the United Kingdom and has three years' experience in helping people who are seeking clearer ways forward.
Param creates a calm, respectful space where a person can be heard without rush. He aims to make conversations simple and direct so someone can name what is hard and begin to make changes.
How Param works
He uses a human-centred style that values honesty, warmth and practical next steps. In sessions he listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, such as codependency, family of origin issues or difficulties communicating. He also supports people facing migration concerns, prejudice and questions about sexuality or life purpose.
When addiction is part of the picture he works alongside the person to reduce harm and build alternatives. Param blends empathy with clear, achievable goals. He helps people break problems down into small steps they can try between sessions.
Over time this can reduce anxiety, ease grief, and build steadier self-worth. People meet him for video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin they use an online matching process and then schedule sessions that suit their routine.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Param uses humanistic and person-centred ideas which focus on listening, acceptance and your own goals. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to talk about grief, identity or cultural pressures and to clarify what matters to them.He also works with practical, evidence-based techniques that break problems into manageable steps. These involve identifying repeated thoughts or behaviours that keep stress and anxiety active, and trying small experiments to change them. Such techniques are useful for anxiety, addictions and improving self-esteem.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree what to try first. That plan can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and messaging are good for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and keep the focus on steady, workable change.
