Hi my name is Param Singh (UKCP, BACP, BAATN), and I know there are times when we can feel lost, alone and unsure of what to do next. Coming from the global majority and being born and brought up in the UK and USA, I understand what it is like to feel different and confused. In times of uncertainty and confusion, therapy offers a space to explore the potential issues that are blocking you from finding the peace necessary to feel at ease. In therapy you can find a way to get back to your day-to-day functioning and over time develop self awareness to find the answers you seek.

You might be experiencing loss, depression, anxiety, situational dilemma, unhappiness, difficulty in relationships or even may be abuse of some kind. Through therapy and talking to me in a safe environment, I might be able to help you to understand your inner self and work with your uncomfortable feelings. The promise is not an instant solution to all your presenting issues or an instant happiness but the goal would be to achieve near enough to live a content life. My aim to work with the clients is to explore their own strengths, abilities as well to acknowledge the feelings and thoughts they might be going through.

It takes a great deal of strength to seek help and to begin to work through personal difficulties. I take great care to provide a supportive and confidential space, in which I can listen to your concerns without judgment, and work with you to help you to overcome your difficulties. Perhaps you are looking for support in dealing with a specific mental health concern like anxiety or depression, or perhaps you are looking for support in finding a greater sense of balance in your life or in creating a richer, more meaningful life for yourself.

My first question is, almost always, 'What brings you to me, and why now? What happened?' This shows me what you are looking for: the answer to what you need to change in yourself, your behaviour, your relationships, your relationship with hope: where has it gone? Your trust, in yourself, in someone close to you, in life or fate - where has your trust gone? Where has your ability to be happy gone? This work is all about helping me understand the story you have been telling yourself for too long that does not work any more, that needs a good editor which is where I come in, to help you re-write the Story of You.

Alcohol Use Counsellors
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
