Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Param draws on humanistic ways of working which focus on open dialogue and understanding the person’s experience. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings, identity questions or changes in life.He also uses evidence-based techniques that target particular problems. For example, short structured methods can help reduce anxiety by teaching clearer ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Other practical approaches focus on building coping skills for stress, grief and addiction concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or travel. It can also allow a shorter check-in or a phone conversation when a video call is not suitable. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.
