Counselling and therapy for individuals in a safe, comfortable and private setting
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Parminder Kainth Counselling
Taking the first steps towards engaging in therapy can be a very personal journey. I am a fully qualified therapist and aim to ensure you can make this journey as safe and comfortable for you as possible and can help you see your current situation in a new light, depth, and clarity.
So you can change old and unhelpful perspectives and feelings about yourself and your life, and ultimately help you make positive changes. It might be the most important journey you’ll ever make.
I provide safe and non-judgmental spaces where any issues can be explored in complete confidentiality.
I am passionate about improving mental health and committed to offering therapy to all individuals regardless of their race, culture, disability, sexual orientation, or socio-economic background.
Sometimes we all have to talk, but sometimes we find it hard to find the right person to turn to. Those who are closest to us may not always be able to offer what we need.
Therapy can be helpful in this area. Someone who listens to you without making judgments or giving advice; someone who believes that you know what you need best and who can offer you a safe, confidential place to explore those needs.
What challenges do you face? What is holding you back? What scares you about the future? How are your emotions hindering or helping you cope in your life? Are you living the life you want to lead? If not, how can you get on the right path?
These are some of the questions that you could find answers to by talking through your problems with me. I work with individual adult clients ( 18+) in person from my practice which is based in Chiswick. I also offer secure online counselling via Zoom or telephone.
I offer the highest professional standards in confidentiality and integrity and believe that the therapy relationship can help you to make impactful and long-lasting changes in your life.
My approach to therapy is a person-centred one. This is a non-judgmental way of working, where the counsellor creates the right conditions to help someone increase their self-awareness; to move towards – and reach – their fullest potential.
Speak in confidence
Counselling takes place in a safe space, where you can talk openly, and you won't be judged. In the therapy space thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence. The therapy spaces provide a safe place for thoughts and feelings to be shared freely and openly.
A problem shared
There are many difficulties people face in their daily lives that can be difficult to manage - problems with a relationship, anxiety attacks, mood swings, etc. Through counselling, we can gain a better understanding of what's causing these issues, and how to move toward managing or resolving them.
Make better,healthier new choices
As we work together, I can help you gain more insight into the difficulties you are facing, help you understand why you behave or react in a particular way, and show you how to start making better, healthier choices moving forward.

Get In Touch
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial free 15-minute assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
You can also contact me on 07917 862720 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Counselling is usually a good way to help with a current problem; something that can be discussed and – hopefully – resolved within a limited number of sessions. Over a certain number of weeks the understanding of the problem improves and away forward becomes clear. Therapy often describes work that goes a bit deeper, towards more substantial life issues and problems having a deeper effect on the client’s life. Therapy often requires a long-term approach, so the number of sessions can be open-ended.
Which option is most suitable depends on the client and the difficulties they are facing. In some cases counselling works well as an ongoing, longer-term option – or therapy can manage to resolve an issue in just a few sessions.

Everything that is said within the counselling room is private – this is one of the main ways counselling and therapy differ from talking to a friend or relative. Once you are comfortable with the format of weekly sessions and the safe space they provide, you will find the freedom to speak in confidence is of great value.
Note that there are some situations where you may be a risk to yourself or others, and there the law requires that I notify an authority; in these cases I may not be able to keep total confidentiality. Breaking confidentiality is very rare though, and only happens after the person concerned has been informed.

Usually I am asked this question by people who are nervous about entering into counselling, or when they are looking for support in coming to see a therapist. This anxiety is understandable, but a key aspect of therapy is that you should feel free to talk about any issues you feel are important to you. Having someone else with you who can be connected those issues makes this opening-up more difficult, so for this reason I do not see clients accompanied by friends or family.
How long a period of counselling lasts will vary from person to person and depend on the depth of the issues they are facing. For some people a couple of sessions helps to bring their problems into focus, and they feel ready to move forward; other problems may require more of an open-ended approach.
Before we begin any work we will agree on the number of sessions we’ll undertake, and at the end of that number review our progress. As long as we both agree further therapy will be of benefit to you, sessions can continue

My aim is to offer a first appointment – known as an initial assessment – within 24-48 hours . Then we would arrange a set number of counselling sessions to take place at the same time every week, that is convenient for you and where I have availabity. How quickly these sessions can begin will depend on the availabity of that free ‘slot’.
