About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and life transitions. He explains things plainly and focuses on what you want to change. Sessions aim to make daily life feel more manageable and help with problems like low self-esteem, grief, addiction and sleeping difficulties.
He brings three years of practice and a practical understanding of neurodiversity, including attention differences and autism.
Background and approach
That background shapes how he listens and asks questions so conversations stay clear and useful. He tailors the pace to each person and encourages honest, grounded dialogue about difficult feelings. Saleem draws on client-centred work to keep the person’s experience central.
He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and behaviour. Somatic and trauma-focused approaches help when past events are stored in the body or keep affecting mood and reactions. In sessions he helps people spot unhelpful habits, try small changes, and build coping skills.
He works with a wide range of concerns from parenting strain and work stress to intimacy issues and eating or anger problems. His aim is to make therapy practical and accessible so it fits into everyday life. People can expect a conversational tone and clear goals.
He supports people through adoption or abandonment issues, chronic illness, caregiving stress and identity concerns. Sessions are offered in English and available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Ways of working Saleem names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
How his approaches work online
Client-centred therapy keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people set their own goals, making this useful for stress, self-esteem and relationship concerns.Psychodynamic work looks at patterns and past experiences that shape current reactions. It can help when someone notices repeating relationship issues or wants to understand long-standing emotional habits.
Somatic and trauma-focused ideas pay attention to how the body holds stress and past hurts. These methods can be helpful for anxiety, trauma responses and chronic tension by including breathing, movement awareness or grounding techniques alongside talk.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and adapts methods over time. This collaborative planning aims to make sessions feel relevant and manageable for each person.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video works well for face-to-face style conversations, phone calls can be used when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility and allow continuity when travel or work makes in-person meetings difficult.
