About Saleem

Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and relationship concerns. Sessions also cover grief, addiction, ADHD and other life changes.

Saleem aims to keep conversations straightforward and practical. He listens to what is happening now, and to the patterns that repeat over time. He encourages people to notice physical reactions as well as thoughts, and to try small changes between sessions.

His work draws on client-centred ideas that place the person’s experience at the centre of therapy. He also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape current responses. Somatic methods are used to notice how stress and anger show up in the body.

People who come for help with anger often focus on sudden outbursts, simmering resentment, or difficulty managing frustration at work or home. Saleem supports them to recognise triggers, practise different responses, and build clearer communication habits.

He also works with related issues such as intimacy, self-esteem, sleep problems, eating concerns and career stress. He accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. The usual first steps are a short questionnaire and a first scheduled session to clarify needs and next steps.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person speaking and their present experience. Online sessions using this approach give time for the client to describe feelings and for the counsellor to reflect and clarify what matters most right now.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier life and how they turn up today. In remote sessions this can mean talking through repeated reactions, noticing how themes return, and linking those to current relationships and stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each client and decide together which methods to use. This helps make sessions fit the person rather than forcing a single style.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue therapy if they move or travel, with the therapist and client arranging practical details together.
