Saleem Choudhry, BACP

Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who offers compassionate support for a wide range of life challenges. He brings three years of practice helping people talk through anxiety, stress and relationship concerns. He also helps with addiction, grief, low self-esteem and career worries. He has knowledge of neurodiversity and pays attention to needs linked to ADHD and autism. Sessions are conversational and tailored to what each person needs. He aims to make the first step easier by moving at a client's pace. Saleem blends client-centred listening with depth work drawn from psychodynamic ideas. That combination helps people understand patterns from the past that affect how they feel now. He also uses somatic and trauma-focused techniques when physical reactions or difficult memories are part of the picture. In a typical meeting he listens first, then helps the person name what matters most. Together they pick practical steps to try between sessions, whether that means breathing practices, new routines for sleep and eating, or clearer boundaries at work. He works with concerns including intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, eating and sleeping difficulties, and co-morbidity. He also supports people exploring identity and LGBT issues. Sessions are offered in English and available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and feelings. A counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions; this works well for issues like low self-esteem, stress and relationship questions.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape present reactions. It can be useful when someone wants to understand why certain feelings or difficulties keep happening.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to choose which methods suit their goals, preferences and the problems they want to address. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy brings practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option and can be easier when one wants not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections between sessions or when written expression feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy schedules.
