About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety and relationship worries. He explains things simply and helps clients work through difficult emotions at a manageable pace. He is known for being approachable and practical in sessions.
With three years of experience, Saleem draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that keep problems repeating. He also uses somatic and trauma-focused approaches to help people notice how their body holds tension or painful memories. Sessions are built around what the person wants to change, not a fixed programme.
He helps people with a wide range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting strains and challenges linked to ADHD and autism. He also works with career stress, anger, sleeping and eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Jealousy is listed among his focus areas and can be addressed in therapy conversations.
Saleem aims to make each session a place to talk things through, learn small new skills, and try different ways of coping between meetings. He explains ideas plainly and checks in frequently to make sure the approach fits. Progress is shaped by the person’s goals and the pace they prefer.
Therapy with Saleem involves regular reflection on what helps and what doesn’t, and adjusting the plan as needed. People who choose him will complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches work online and in sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist follows the client’s pace, listens closely and reflects what comes up so people can make choices that feel right for them.Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past experiences that keep repeating now. This can help when relationship issues, attachment concerns or repeated reactions like jealousy keep coming up without a clear reason.
Somatic work draws attention to body sensations tied to emotions and stress. Noticing how tension shows up physically can give simple, practical ways to reduce anxiety and improve sleep or concentration.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Saleem will discuss options, try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust the plan based on feedback. The process is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort.
The original biography did not list which online or in-person session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful for fitting sessions into a busy life, cutting travel time, making shorter check-ins easier to manage and keeping continuity when schedules change. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use these ways of working to help people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday commitments.
