About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, steady support for people facing depression and other life stresses. He writes plainly and meets people where they are. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, making practical changes, and building better day-to-day routines.
He draws on client-centred methods to place the person's experience at the centre of each session. That means the conversation follows what matters most to the client, and goals are agreed together.
Background and approach
He also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people notice patterns that repeat in relationships and mood over time. Somatic approaches are part of his work when physical sensations link with emotions. This can help when anxiety or trauma shows up in the body as tension, sleep problems, or low energy.
He can also use trauma-focused methods for people affected by past abuse or painful events. Saleem has three years of counselling experience and works with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, ADHD, career stress and parenting strains.
He also helps with eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. International clients are accepted.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their schedule.

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.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative step helps shape whether sessions lean more towards talking-based discovery, body-awareness practices, or a mix of both.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short check-in during a busy day. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief reflections or ongoing support between calls. These options provide flexibility, making it easier to work around work, caregiving or location constraints while using the approaches described above.
