About Param
Param Sahni is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. He works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life changes, including issues around guilt and shame.
He takes a humanistic approach that centres the person rather than labels. Sessions focus on listening, honest conversation and exploring what feels stuck. He aims to treat cultural background and identity as part of the work, not separate from it.
Param draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people clarify their values, understand patterns, and practise different ways of responding. That can involve looking at past relationships, current pressures and how personal beliefs affect daily choices. He pays particular attention to how family of origin, migration and multicultural pressures shape guilt or shame.
Conversations are direct but respectful. He invites practical steps alongside reflection, such as communication practice, coping skills for anxiety, and strategies for managing urges related to addiction. Sessions also cover grief and life-direction questions, including midlife concerns and men's issues.
He offers therapy in English, Hindi and Punjabi. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Online approaches that address guilt and shame
Param uses humanistic counselling alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Humanistic counselling focuses on open dialogue, understanding personal values and recognising how cultural background shapes feelings. It helps people name what matters and make choices that fit their values.He also draws on practical, evidence-based methods to manage anxiety and addictive urges. These approaches teach concrete coping skills, breathing and grounding techniques, and step-by-step ways to change unhelpful patterns. They are useful for day-to-day stress, cravings, and immediate emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Param will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean leaning more on reflective, conversational work at first, then adding skills-based practice as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. The main practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into daily life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and make it easier to see a counsellor who speaks your language. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth, or shorter schedules depending on what someone needs.
