About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk about what matters most to them. He introduces himself simply as Sal and keeps things direct and relatable. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on practical steps that fit everyday life.
He uses approaches that centre the client and pay attention to both feelings and body responses. That means sessions often begin with a chance to be heard, then move into noticing patterns and testing small changes.
Background and approach
This style can help with anxiety, low mood, problems with sleep, and managing stress at work or home. Saleem has three years' experience in counselling and works with a wide range of concerns. These include relationship issues, intimacy, grief, addiction, ADHD and eating or sleeping difficulties.
He also lists LGBT among his focus areas and aims to offer an accepting space for sexual and gender minority issues. He pays attention to life transitions such as parenting, career change and bereavement, and to longer-term patterns like attachment, abandonment or codependency. Trauma and somatic responses are part of his work when they are relevant to a person's situation.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and availability and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

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.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of each session. It involves listening closely, reflecting back what the person says, and following their priorities so they feel heard and understood. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship questions.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and early experiences that shape how people relate to others. In practice this means noticing repeated reactions and helping people make small shifts in how they understand themselves and their choices. It can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment themes and long-standing relational struggles.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss different options with the client and agree on what feels most helpful. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as goals and needs evolve.
For practical matters, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit around work, travel or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or reduce the need to be on camera depending on the chosen format. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, increasingly use remote sessions to help people maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday life.
