Saleem Choudhry , BACP

Saleem Choudhry is a compassionate BACP-registered counsellor who brings three years of professional experience to his work supporting people through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. He offers informed care for stress, anxiety, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem difficulties, coping with life changes, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, career questions, depression, coaching needs, and compassion fatigue, alongside many other areas of focus listed in his practice profile.

Saleem also has a particular understanding of neurodiversity, including ADD, ADHD, and autism, and attends closely to how these differences interact with everyday functioning and relationships. He draws on several established therapeutic frameworks - including client-centered therapy, psychodynamic approaches, somatic methods, and trauma-focused work - and adapts techniques to align with each person’s priorities and pace.

In sessions he aims to create a calm, respectful environment where people can explore emotions, gain insight into patterns, and work toward meaningful change. Saleem emphasizes collaboration and supports clients as they take gradual steps toward clearer understanding and practical coping strategies.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Saleem combines client-centered and psychodynamic perspectives with somatic-informed work to offer adaptable online therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting a person where they are, listening without judgment, and supporting self-directed growth - it helps with stress, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and the emotional fallout of life changes. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns that develop from earlier relationships and unconscious processes; it can be useful for understanding recurring relational difficulties, attachment issues, and deeper emotional conflicts. Somatic therapy pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and uses bodily awareness and gentle techniques to help regulate stress, trauma responses, and chronic tension.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Saleem works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and he adjusts methods over time so the work fits the client’s needs and pace. The therapist-client relationship guides decisions about which tools to use.

Online therapy with Saleem is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, fit therapy into busy schedules, and continue support during life transitions, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to address emotional and relational concerns.
