About Saleem

Saleem Choudhry is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. He works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, grief, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be seen.

Saleem draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that keep recurring in their lives. He also uses somatic and trauma-focused approaches to support work with strong emotions and memories. In practice this means talking through what is happening now, and noticing how the body reacts when feelings come up.

In early sessions he helps people clarify what they want to change and what practical steps they might take. He listens for recurring themes such as attachment, low self-esteem, or workplace stress, and then discusses ways to work with those patterns. The emphasis is on clear, concrete steps rather than abstract theory.

Saleem has experience supporting people with neurodiversity, including attention differences and autism, and pays attention to how these affect daily routines and relationships. He also works with concerns around parenting, career decisions, eating and sleeping, and compassion fatigue.

Costs vary with location, and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin the process, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online options button.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and helping people identify what they most want to change. Online sessions can provide space to talk through relationship tensions, anger, or career stress while keeping the conversation grounded in the client's goals.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and early influences that shape current reactions. In online sessions this can help someone spot why certain situations trigger strong anger or anxiety, and then try new ways of responding over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Saleem will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the client's goals and preferences. This is collaborative; adjustments are made as the work progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online counselling can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier by reducing travel and allowing sessions from a convenient location. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video, which helps when bandwidth is limited or a quick workday break is needed.
