Salma Begum , BACP

Salma Begum is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist who offers a compassionate, person-centred approach to help people navigate difficult moments in life. She frames therapy around each individual’s experiences, emotions, and values, creating a space where people can explore feelings of low mood, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and the uncertainty that comes with major life changes. Salma’s work emphasises understanding and deeper self-awareness, with the aim of supporting clients toward greater emotional balance and clarity.

Her academic background includes a degree in Psychology and Criminology and a Masters in professional training in counselling and psychotherapy. Salma’s clinical experience spans work within the NHS in a GP setting and several years in the charity sector. She spent three years supporting survivors of human trafficking and modern slavery, experience that has informed her trauma-aware practice and sensitivity to complex emotional needs. Salma brings cultural awareness and inclusivity to her work, recognising how background and lived experience shape the way people heal.

Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Salma offers a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients can begin to make sense of their challenges and take steps toward personal growth.
