Saleem Choudhry , BACP

Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who uses client-centred care to help people through relationship and personal difficulties. He draws on psychodynamic and somatic ideas to make sense of patterns, feelings and bodily reactions. Saleem writes plainly and aims to make sessions feel approachable and practical.

He commonly supports people with stress, anxiety, depression and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He also helps those navigating life changes, grief, addiction and the challenges linked to ADHD and neurodiversity. Saleem lists LGBT issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting concerns and compassion fatigue among his areas of focus.

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. He listens for repeating patterns from past experience and connects those to present worries. Sometimes the focus is on thoughts and relationships, and other times on how physical tension shows up and what to do about it.

Saleem has three years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. He offers practical coping ideas alongside longer term reflection about how old hurts continue to affect daily life. International clients can be seen in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Saleem blends client-centred work with psychodynamic and somatic approaches to support people online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, respect and working at the client's pace so sessions respond to immediate concerns and goals. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and past experiences that influence current feelings and relationships, helping people understand why they repeat certain behaviours. Somatic Therapy attends to bodily sensations and physical responses, using breath, grounding and movement awareness to reduce tension and help emotions feel more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be agreed together. The therapist will discuss your needs and preferences and suggest a path that feels appropriate, then adapt over time based on progress and feedback. This collaborative method helps people try practical steps while also making space for deeper reflection.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging suits quick updates or people who prefer typed communication. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel or different daily routines while maintaining continuity of care.
