About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who focuses on men’s wellbeing and everyday struggles. He offers calm, straightforward support for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and addictive behaviours. He aims to make starting therapy less daunting and meets people where they are.
Saleem draws on client-centred, psychodynamic and somatic approaches to shape sessions around each person’s needs. That means listening first, asking simple questions to clarify what matters, and helping someone notice how emotions show up in the body. Sessions often blend talking with practical steps to manage stress and improve sleep or routine.
He has three years of counselling experience and a working knowledge of neurodiversity, including ADD, ADHD and autism. That background informs how he notices thinking styles and sensory patterns when people describe daily challenges. It also helps with matters connected to identity and relationships.
Common concerns he supports include intimacy and relationship difficulties, career stress, parenting strain, trauma and compassion fatigue. He also works with eating and sleeping problems, anger, and grief. The aim is realistic change - clearer thinking, steadier mood and better coping - rather than quick fixes.
Sessions follow the client’s pace and priorities. Saleem encourages practical homework when it helps, such as short breathing or grounding practices, behaviour experiments, or planning small routine changes. He invites people to start with a short questionnaire and then book a time that suits them.
How his approaches shape online therapy
Saleem uses client-centred and somatic approaches alongside psychodynamic ideas to guide online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting back what matters most, which helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings. Somatic work pays attention to bodily signals and teaches simple grounding or breathing practices to reduce tension. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and how past experience affects present reactions, useful for relationships and attachment concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Saleem works collaboratively to decide what to try first and adjusts as work progresses. He will ask about goals, current difficulties and preferred ways of working to tailor sessions together rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and offer a quieter check-in during a lunch break or after work. It can also let a therapist guide simple home-based practices between sessions, such as short breathing exercises, body awareness tasks or small routine changes to support steady progress.
