About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who aims to make hard conversations easier. He uses a calm, down-to-earth style to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. Saleem also supports clients dealing with ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns. He works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.
Saleem draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to guide sessions. He values listening first and helping people feel understood before planning next steps. Somatic and trauma-focused approaches are also part of his practice when emotions are held in the body or when past events need careful attention.
In practical work he helps people talk through relationship patterns, manage intense feelings and build day-to-day coping skills. Sessions may include reflecting on personal history, noticing bodily sensations, or practising small changes that fit into everyday life. The aim is to find approaches that suit each person rather than applying a single method.
Saleem has three years of professional experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP. He mentions an understanding of neurodiversity including ADD, ADHD and autism when these are part of a person’s story. He also has a wide range of focus areas such as grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness and body image.
People who choose him can expect straightforward language and a steady pace. He invites clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to his schedule. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches can work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship in the room. The counsellor listens with empathy and follows what matters most to the client, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and past relationships that shape current behaviour. It can be useful for understanding family dynamics, attachment issues and long-standing ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those needs in a collaborative way.
Because session formats are not listed in the biography, please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life - it often reduces travel time, can be scheduled around work or caregiving, and lets people join from different locations including other countries. It also allows some flexibility in how people wish to engage, such as focusing on talking, noticing bodily signals, or short check-ins between longer sessions.
