Reshma Salam

Reshma Salam is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, low self-esteem, depression, grief and anger. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, career shifts and the strain of life changes. Sessions focus on the person’s goals and on helping them take manageable steps forward.

Her style is gentle and person-centred. She creates space for people to talk without feeling judged. Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to help them find their own answers and choices.

Reshma uses a person-centred framework alongside other helpful resources to suit each person’s needs. That means she listens closely and reflects back what matters most, while suggesting practical ways to cope and move on. She aims to combine understanding with clear, achievable steps.

She brings several years of therapeutic work in children and young people services and charities to her counselling. Her experience includes roles in local authority services, a national children’s mental health charity and work as a senior counsellor for a women’s charity.

People can expect a calm, respectful approach that prioritises their concerns. The first meetings are used to set goals and agree how to work together. From there she supports clients as they practise new ways of coping and build more confidence.

How Reshma’s client-centred work adapts online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and treating the person as the expert in their own life. A counsellor following this approach offers warm, non-judgemental responses and helps people explore feelings and choices. It is useful for relationship worries, anger, self-esteem and life transitions.

Reshma blends the person-centred core with supportive resources tailored to each client. That means she will work with the person to try different ways of coping and see what feels useful. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative and evolves from the person’s goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions around work or family life and cutting travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to continue therapy during busy or changing schedules. The therapist’s exact session formats are not specified here, so check the booking details to confirm which options are offered before arranging sessions.
