About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that affect daily life. He offers a calm, practical presence for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship concerns. Sessions invite gentle reflection and straightforward tools you can use between meetings.
He draws on client-centred work to place the person’s experience at the heart of therapy. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns from past experiences that shape present choices. Somatic and trauma-focused approaches are used when the body and past events play a part in current difficulties.
Saleem has three years of professional experience and has worked with people affected by grief, low self-esteem, sexual and intimacy concerns, ADHD and neurodiversity questions. He also supports those facing career stress, parenting pressures, sleeping and eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue. He aims to keep conversations clear and practical rather than technical.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs. He will listen, reflect back what he notices, and help build small changes to daily routines and thinking habits. Where trauma is present, he brings an awareness of how the body can hold experience as well as the mind.
Saleem works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If you’re unsure whether his style fits your needs, he encourages a short matching process to see if you feel comfortable proceeding.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and working at their pace. It helps when someone needs a listening space and practical feedback to change everyday thinking and habits.Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and time. It can help people spot where old experiences influence current choices and emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client, try things out, and adapt methods based on the person’s needs and goals. This is a collaborative process that aims to match methods to what actually helps.
Please check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people join from different locations, which is useful for international clients who wish to work with a UK-based counsellor.
