About Saleem

Counsellor Saleem Choudhry is a BACP member with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction and other life changes. Sessions are in English and he accepts international clients.

Saleem uses person-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic and somatic approaches. He aims to listen first and help people make sense of patterns in their feelings and relationships. He also draws on trauma-focused ways of working when painful events need careful attention.

In practical terms he talks through what is happening now and how past experiences may link to current problems. That can include looking at how bodies hold stress and what small changes might ease tension. Conversations can cover everyday struggles like sleep, work stress, parenting pressures and sexual cultures such as kink when these come up.

Saleem notes particular experience with neurodiversity, including attention differences and aspects of autism, and with issues around adoption, abandonment and blended family dynamics. He also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain and body image concerns. These topics are approached through exploration of feelings, patterns and coping strategies.

He uses straightforward sessions to identify goals and try small steps between meetings. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How his approaches work in remote counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and following their lead. It is about listening, reflecting and helping people decide what they want to change. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events, and helps people see how those patterns show up now.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss different ways of working and agree what to try based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as things change and progress is reviewed collaboratively.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins where helpful. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need to manage time around work or family commitments.
