Saleem Choudhry, BACP

Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and relatable. He offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and life changes. Saleem uses clear language and a steady approach to help people feel understood and begin to make changes.

He draws on client-centred work to focus on what matters most to each person. That means sessions start from the client’s experience and priorities, and pace is set by the client. Saleem also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns and somatic methods to help people notice how their body holds emotion.

Saleem has three years of experience working with issues such as depression, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD and neurodiversity. He also supports people dealing with chronic pain, serious illness, caregiving stress and body image concerns. His practice includes work with trauma and abuse, and with people exploring sexuality and kink within a non-judgemental framework.

Sessions are conversational and practical. He helps people talk through feelings, spot repeating patterns, and try small experiments between meetings. Many people use therapy to manage day-to-day coping, improve relationships, and build clearer routines for sleeping, eating and work-life balance.

Saleem offers work in English and accepts international clients. To begin, readers can use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches work online

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience first. Online work with this approach means the counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client’s pace so goals are set together. It helps with stress, anxiety and day-to-day coping by focusing on what matters now.

Psychodynamic work looks at repeating patterns and past influences that shape current feelings. Online sessions can give the time and continuity needed to notice these patterns and try different ways of responding over several meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and recommend an approach or mix of approaches. Decisions are made together so the plan fits the person’s life and what they want to change.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow follow-up conversations between sessions. It also helps when quieter surroundings or reduced screen time are needed, or when a shorter check-in is preferable during a work break.
