About Saleem

Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and intimacy-related concerns. He uses straightforward, person-focused work to help people understand what they are feeling and take practical steps forward. His aim is to create a calm space where people can talk and feel heard.

Saleem draws on several therapeutic styles to suit each person’s needs. He blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem. He also uses somatic ideas to help people notice how emotions show up in the body and trauma-focused approaches where past distress continues to cause problems.

He has three years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include coping with life changes, ADHD, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, career strain, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people navigating issues around sexuality, attachment, body image and long-term health conditions.

Sessions are conducted in English and Saleem accepts international clients. He works with people who want help with relationship difficulties, self-esteem, parenting strains, and other personal challenges. Fees vary by location and availability and are managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. The first meeting focuses on what matters most to the client and on practical next steps.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflecting feelings and supporting self-directed change; this helps with anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeating patterns and past experiences that influence current life. It helps people see why certain reactions happen and supports long-term shifts in how they relate to others and themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Saleem will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then agree on ways of working together. That collaborative planning can include mixing methods so sessions match what the client needs at the time.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or removing the need to be on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to reach people who live far away or who need flexible appointment times.
