About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry offers a calm, person-focused way of working that starts with listening. He uses an approachable, client-centred style to help people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. He makes sessions straightforward and practical so worried parents can follow along and feel understood.
Saleem draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. That helps when intimacy, attachment or long-standing low self-esteem are part of the problem.
Background and approach
He also incorporates somatic approaches to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body and to learn simple ways to settle those physical reactions. Over three years of practice he has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, addictions, ADHD, depression and career stress.
He also supports people navigating identity and LGBT issues, parenting pressures, sleep or eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue. These areas often overlap, and Saleem helps people untangle what matters most to them. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual.
He helps clients spot unhelpful patterns, practise new ways of relating, and set small, manageable goals. He aims to make therapy feel like a steady, practical process rather than a list of techniques. Saleem is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he works with English-speaking clients based in the United Kingdom and internationally.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
How Saleem’s approaches work online
Saleem uses client-centred work to put the person’s priorities first. That means sessions focus on what the client wants to change, with the counsellor reflecting back concerns and helping people find their own solutions. This fits well for stress, anxiety and self-esteem work.He also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns in relationships and behaviour. Online conversations can surface those patterns by looking at how someone describes their history and current life. This approach can help when intimacy, attachment or long-term emotional patterns are important.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Saleem will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. He adapts the pace and focus as things change so the work stays relevant.
Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the process consistent.
