About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who aims to make therapy clear and approachable. He offers calm, steady support for things like anxiety, stress and depression. He also helps with relationship concerns, intimacy issues and difficulties tied to neurodiversity.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Saleem draws on client-centred work to place the person’s concerns at the heart of each session. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.
Background and approach
Somatic and trauma-focused approaches are part of his practice when people bring experiences of hurt or overwhelm. In practical terms, sessions focus on what a person wants to change. Conversations aim to build clearer thinking, easier day-to-day coping, and greater emotional awareness.
He listens, reflects, and helps people try different ways of responding to difficult moments. Saleem has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That registration is the credential listed for his practice.
To start, people are asked to use the platform Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. A subscription model is used for sessions and can be cancelled at any time. For current session formats, readers should confirm the options before booking.
Many who contact him are looking for help with grief, addiction, parenting strain, eating or sleeping issues, and career stress. He works with a wide range of concerns including attachment, body image, chronic illness and compassion fatigue.

Approaches Saleem lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Saleem works online
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps most and adjust the way they work as understanding grows.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, and offering options when someone prefers not to be on camera. Many people find online sessions help keep continuity between appointments and make follow-up conversations simpler to arrange.
