About Saleem

Saleem Choudhry helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy problems, and the emotional effects of life change. He uses person-centred ways of working alongside psychodynamic and somatic methods to focus on feelings, bodily responses and patterns from past experience. Saleem is a BACP member and has three years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.

He offers straightforward, conversational sessions that encourage people to talk about what matters to them. That can mean looking at how day-to-day habits affect mood, or tracing recurring relationship patterns back to earlier attachments. He also addresses topics such as ADHD, addiction, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or parenting strain.

Saleem draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated themes in a person's life and on somatic methods to pay attention to bodily signals linked to stress and trauma. The person-centred element means the client’s concerns and goals shape each session. This combination aims to make thoughts, feelings and physical reactions easier to understand and manage.

He also works with a broad range of additional concerns, from body image and chronic illness to adoptive and foster care issues. Sessions can include short-term problem-focused work or longer conversations about deeper patterns, depending on what the person wants.

Saleem works in English and accepts people from outside the UK. He uses a subscription billing model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and views therapy as a collaborative conversation. It helps when someone wants a listening, non-directive style and to set the pace and goals themselves.

Psychodynamic work helps identify repeating relationship patterns and early attachments that still influence feelings and choices today. It is useful for people who want to understand long-standing personal themes rather than only solve an immediate problem.

Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and reactions linked to stress or trauma, using gentle awareness of the body to reduce physical tension and support emotional regulation. This can be helpful alongside talking work for issues such as trauma, anxiety or chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the options and agree a way of working together based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins and means fewer journeys to appointments, which some people find more practical while managing daily life.
