About Saleem

Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people manage difficult feelings and life changes. He uses straightforward, person-focused ways of working to support those dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and anger. He also offers help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, ADHD and issues related to sexuality and identity.

Saleem keeps sessions simple and practical. He listens first, then helps people make sense of thoughts and reactions. He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect present life, and uses client-centred listening so each person leads the pace.

He also brings somatic and trauma-focused approaches into the room when people need help with strong physical responses or difficult memories. That can mean noticing how the body reacts during stress and working with those sensations alongside thoughts and feelings. This often helps when anger, panic or grief feel overwhelming.

Saleem has three years of practice and holds BACP accreditation. He welcomes people from different backgrounds and can work with neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism, as part of conversations about coping and strengths. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is about being heard and respected. Online sessions let the therapist listen closely and follow the client's pace, helping people speak through worries, identity questions and relationship concerns.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from earlier life that repeat now. In online meetings this work often focuses on current reactions and recurring relationship styles, helping people understand why they react as they do and consider different choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Saleem discusses goals and preferences with each person and chooses techniques together. That collaborative way means the plan can change as needs shift over time.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt how they use conversation and body-focused noticing to suit online sessions.
