About Reshma
Reshma Salam is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She supports adults facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger and the pressures of life transitions. Young adult issues are included among her focus areas, along with parenting and family concerns.
She uses a client-centred approach that invites people to speak openly about what matters to them. Sessions are paced to the individual and aim to help people find their own answers. The work is straightforward and conversational rather than overly clinical.
Reshma also draws on additional techniques when they suit a person’s needs. That can mean bringing in practical strategies to manage overwhelming feelings or working through family of origin and blended family issues. She has experience supporting people affected by trauma, domestic violence and immigration-related stress.
Her background includes roles in local authority children and young people services and in a major children’s mental health charity. Reshma currently works as a senior counsellor at a women’s charity, where she continues to work with adults and young people.
People often come to her when they are feeling isolated, dealing with postpartum depression, grappling with prejudice and discrimination, or trying to navigate career and relationship changes. The focus in sessions is on simple, practical conversation about next steps and coping strategies.
How her approach translates to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. The counsellor aims to understand the person’s views and priorities and to respond without judgement. This approach can help with relationship issues, low self-esteem, grief and feelings of isolation by making space for a person to clarify what matters to them.Reshma may combine client-centred work with practical techniques when a client needs coping tools for strong emotions or to address family and trauma-related problems. That combination lets sessions stay grounded in the client’s own goals while adding specific steps for day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify methods that fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps and adjusting the way sessions are run as work progresses.

Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to make attending more manageable, but confirm the exact arrangements with the counsellor when you match and book.
