Saleem Choudhry , BACP

Saleem Choudhry is a friendly, compassionate BACP-registered counsellor who supports people navigating relationships, grief, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, addiction and many other life challenges. He brings a strong grounding in human psychology and a particular understanding of neurodiversity, including ADD, ADHD and autism, which informs his work with clients.

In sessions he creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, increase self-awareness and work toward practical, meaningful change. His practice draws on a blend of therapeutic methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic approaches, Gestalt techniques and person-centred work, with interventions shaped around each person’s preferences and goals. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counselling in the United Kingdom.

Saleem approaches therapy at a pace that suits each client, offering steady support through difficult transitions and complex issues. He emphasizes collaboration, helping clients uncover insights and build coping strategies that fit their lives. He aims to be a steady presence on the journey toward clearer understanding and improved wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Saleem draws on client-centred therapy to place the client’s experience at the heart of the work, offering a listening, empathetic stance that helps people build self-understanding and develop their own solutions. Psychodynamic therapy is used to explore patterns that stem from past relationships and early experiences, helping clients uncover hidden influences on current feelings and behaviour. Trauma-focused therapy provides targeted ways to address the aftereffects of traumatic events, using approaches that help process difficult memories and reduce their day-to-day impact.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Saleem works collaboratively with each person to identify what techniques and pace suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to reach licensed professionals from different locations. These options support ongoing work between sessions and can make accessing care more convenient for those with mobility, scheduling or geographic constraints.
