About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry offers a calm, person-centred approach to counselling. He is a BACP counsellor who aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Saleem writes plainly and listens carefully so people feel heard from the first meeting.
He focuses on stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and related difficulties. Phobias are one of the areas he lists among his concerns.
Background and approach
Saleem blends client-centred work with psychodynamic and somatic ideas. That means sessions can include reflective talking, looking at how past patterns show up now, and noticing how feelings appear in the body. He keeps language plain and chooses methods that suit each person.
Sessions are offered in English and can take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. He has three years of experience working with adults and accepts international clients who can access those formats. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits.
Fees vary with location and subscription plans can be cancelled at any time. Saleem aims to move at each person’s pace and help them find practical ways to cope and change.
Approaches you can use in online counselling
Saleem combines client-centred work and psychodynamic thinking in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience, using listening, reflection and empathy to help people find their own solutions. It is useful for low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns.Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier experiences shape current patterns and reactions. In short online conversations this can help identify recurring themes, such as repeated relationship difficulties or avoidance, and bring them into view for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Saleem will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on a person’s goals, worries and preferences. That might mean starting with client-centred listening and adding psychodynamic or somatic elements over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for conversational depth and reading body language, phone calls can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit around work or family life and allow shorter, frequent contact. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
