About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. He helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, ADHD and other life changes. He also supports people dealing with grief, sleep or eating issues, and questions around identity and sexual expression.
Saleem describes his work as conversational and reflective. He listens to how problems show up in daily life and helps people notice patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions look at past experiences and current reactions, and they also draw on the body to help manage overwhelming emotions.
He uses client-centred methods that focus on the person's perspective. He also makes use of psychodynamic ideas to look at early relationships and recurring themes. Somatic approaches are used when emotions feel stuck in the body, and trauma-focused techniques are available for people processing difficult events.
Saleem has particular interest in neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism, and in issues such as codependency, attachment concerns and adoption or foster-care histories. He works with people questioning their sexual preferences or navigating alternative relationship cultures.
Sessions are aimed at helping people name their patterns, practise setting boundaries, manage stress and make changes they can sustain. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used so a first session can be scheduled. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Saleem blends client-centred work with psychodynamic and somatic ideas. Client-centred therapy focuses on what the person brings to the room and helps them feel heard and understood; it is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship patterns and decision-making. Psychodynamic work looks at repeating relationship themes and past attachments to make sense of current struggles, which can help with intimacy issues and attachment concerns. Somatic approaches pay attention to bodily signals and physical reactions, offering ways to work with anxiety, trauma responses and overwhelming emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Saleem will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the approach based on a person’s needs, goals and responses. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions focus more on talking, on noticing body responses, or on looking at repeated life patterns.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid a camera if that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals can offer sessions in various ways, so checking formats in advance ensures the practical setup matches what you need.
