About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people untangle painful patterns and build steadier daily lives. He draws on a person-centred stance to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about stress, anxiety, codependency and other relationship or life concerns.
He has three years of practice with people dealing with grief, addiction, self‑esteem struggles and long‑term health or caregiving pressures. He also works with people who identify as LGBT and those navigating neurodiversity such as ADHD and autism. Sessions aim to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and find manageable next steps.
Saleem uses psychodynamic ideas to help clients make sense of past experiences that still affect them now. He brings somatic awareness into sessions so people can notice how stress shows up in the body and use that information to calm down and feel more grounded.
His approach tends to be collaborative and paced to the individual. He listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the conversation rather than following a rigid plan. This can be useful for issues like intimacy, career changes, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.
Clients new to counselling are guided through the first steps, including a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapy approaches guide online work
Saleem uses person‑centred practice to keep the conversation focused on each person's immediate concerns. This approach means sessions begin by listening and following the client's priorities, which can help when discussing relationships, self‑esteem or life transitions.He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns influence present behaviour. This can help when recurring issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds or codependency keep coming up in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Saleem works collaboratively to test what helps most, and he adjusts methods based on a client's goals, pace and feedback. Clients and therapist choose together how to proceed as understanding grows.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so it is a good idea to confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments by removing travel time and allowing sessions to slot into a busy day. It can also make shorter check‑ins and flexible scheduling more practical as life changes.
