Saleem Choudhry, BACP

Saleem Choudhry offers warm, straightforward support grounded in person-centred work. He is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people manage anxiety, stress, grief and relationship concerns. Saleem writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person. He has three years' professional experience and more informal contact with neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism. In sessions he focuses on what someone is facing now, helping them talk through feelings and build small steps that feel achievable. He also supports people dealing with addiction, career strain, compassion fatigue and life changes. Saleem draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. He uses somatic awareness to help people notice how emotions show up in the body. His person-centred manner means the client’s priorities guide what happens in each meeting. People who come to him for help with parenting, intimacy issues or ageing concerns can expect a calm, non-judgemental approach. He also works with issues such as eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Sessions aim to be practical and humane. Saleem encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. If someone prefers to pace the work slowly, he adapts to that rhythm and helps set realistic goals.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online work using this approach usually involves open, person-led conversation that helps someone clarify goals and feel heard. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and past influences that shape present feelings. In remote sessions this can help identify unhelpful cycles and make sense of long-standing worries or relationship difficulties. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to the client’s needs, goals and preferences so the way sessions are run fits each person. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. It can make meetings easier to schedule around work or caregiving commitments, and it can suit people who prefer not to be late for appointments due to travel. Because the original profile does not specify session formats, confirm the current online or in-person options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
