About Reshma
Reshma Salam is a counsellor who supports people with relationship problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse. She also helps with anger, career questions and coping with big life changes. Reshma works with individuals who face family difficulties, postpartum depression, immigration concerns, cultural or discrimination stress, and feelings of isolation.
Reshma uses a person-centred style in sessions. She aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace.
Background and approach
The focus is on listening closely and helping people find their own answers rather than directing them. In practice she encourages practical steps alongside reflection. Conversations may include looking at relationships, managing emotions, and building self-compassion.
She tailors the pace and tools to each person’s needs and goals. Reshma has four years of counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked in services supporting children and young people and in charities for women, which inform her approach to complex personal and family issues.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through a range of online formats. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on the therapist’s availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How a person-centred approach works online
Reshma practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the person’s lead. This approach helps people who need time to figure things out, improve self-esteem, or work through relationship and family concerns. The focus is on understanding the person’s experience and supporting their own decision-making.She adapts the person-centred way to online formats, using gentle questioning and reflective listening to build rapport. Sessions can include talking through emotions, exploring family patterns, and practising self-compassion exercises that fit the client’s goals. The therapist works collaboratively to choose what feels most useful for each person.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Reshma will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. Clients and therapist decide together whether to focus on emotional processing, practical problem solving, or a mix of both.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflection, or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
