About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions and other life challenges. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Saleem draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He pays attention to how early relationships and current patterns shape reactions. That can help when dealing with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, or ongoing relationship strain.
He also uses somatic and trauma-focused methods to support people who carry intense physical or body-based responses to stress. These approaches aim to help people notice physical reactions and develop simple ways to manage them during social situations or high-pressure moments.
Practical topics he addresses include low self-esteem, coping with life changes, work stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD and autism. He also offers support around intimacy, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and carer stress.
Sessions combine talking and experiential work. Saleem encourages clear goals and regular reviews so progress can be tracked. To begin, clients use the platform's matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How his approaches translate to online work
Saleem combines client-centred practice and psychodynamic ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience, using listening and open questions to identify what matters. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past relationships and how they show up now, which can be useful for recurring social fears or intimacy difficulties.He also brings somatic and trauma-focused perspectives to online sessions when physical responses to stress are important. Somatic methods help people notice and work with body sensations that come with anxiety or panic. Trauma-focused methods aim to address distress linked to past harm, with careful pacing and attention to current coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be worked out together. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences, adjusting over time as needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can help fit sessions around busy lives, make it easier to attend from different locations, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways of meeting, and Saleem will explain the practical options during the matching and scheduling step.
