Saleem Choudhry
Helping people face stress and life changes
About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who offers short-term and longer-term help for everyday and complex problems. He speaks English and works with people from the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions may focus on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, addiction, ADHD and grief among other issues.
Saleem uses a client-centred style that puts the person's experience first. He listens and reflects to help people feel heard and to clarify what they want to change.
Background and approach
That style is joined by psychodynamic thinking, which looks at patterns that repeat over time and where they might come from. He also draws on somatic and trauma-focused approaches when past harm or strong bodily reactions get in the way of daily life.
Those approaches help people notice how their body and memory hold stress, and gently work through it at a manageable pace. With three years of experience and a BACP credential, Saleem aims to keep sessions practical and clear. People can expect direct conversation about goals, small steps to try between sessions, and space to process setbacks without pressure.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set their own goals. In an online session this means conversations that follow what matters most to the client and build from their priorities.Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeating patterns and links between past and present. Online work can use this approach to notice recurring themes and make sense of feelings that keep coming back.
Somatic therapy pays attention to how the body holds stress and emotion. Even over video or phone, a counsellor can help someone notice bodily signals and use grounding or movement-based techniques to reduce tension.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and the issues they want to address. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, limited travel options or varied energy levels. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. Many registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible and adaptable.
