About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice experience. He works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and coping with life changes. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma, eating and sleeping difficulties, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Saleem uses straightforward, person-centred ways of working that let people talk through what matters to them. He pays attention to how past experiences affect present feelings, and to the body's responses to stress. Sessions focus on understanding problems, naming what feels hard, and trying practical steps that fit everyday life.
Clients can expect calm, direct conversations that look at thoughts, relationships and patterns that repeat. He draws on psychodynamic ideas to trace how earlier relationships shape current reactions. He also uses somatic approaches to help people notice and work with bodily signals linked to anxiety or trauma.
Saleem has experience supporting people across a wide range of concerns, including neurodiversity topics such as ADD, ADHD and autism, and complex issues like co-morbidity, codependency and caregiver stress. His work covers both emotional and behavioural aspects, from mood and anger to addictions and career worries.
He works in English and accepts international clients. If someone is unsure whether his style fits, the usual path is to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session to see how it feels.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says, so sessions spend time on the person's concerns and priorities. It helps with stress, relationship dilemmas and feeling unsure after big life changes.Psychodynamic work looks at patterns from earlier relationships that show up now. This can help people understand recurring reactions in friendships, work or romantic relationships and make different choices.
Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations linked to anxiety or trauma and uses simple body-based exercises alongside talk. It can be useful when tensions, sleep problems or panic show up physically as well as mentally.
Finding the right way to work is part of the process. Saleem will discuss different approaches and decide together which to try based on the client's needs and preferences. That collaborative starting point helps shape what follow-up sessions focus on.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or travel, reduce time spent commuting and allow a quieter check-in during a break. They also mean someone can join from another location when that suits their schedule.
