About Saleem
Saleem Choudhry is a BACP counsellor who aims to make therapy approachable and practical. He introduces himself simply as Sal and offers calm, patient support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. He also notes experience with neurodiversity including ADD, ADHD and autism.
In sessions Sal focuses on understanding what matters to each person. He listens and helps people talk through feelings, notice patterns, and try small changes that make daily life easier. He uses approaches that centre the client's experience and look at how past patterns influence present choices.
Sal draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people see recurring themes and relational patterns. He also uses somatic-informed methods to help people connect with body sensations when trauma or strong emotions are present. These ways of working are adapted to the person he is meeting rather than offered as fixed packages.
With three years' professional experience, Sal works with a wide range of concerns from addiction and compassion fatigue to parenting strain and career stress. He names many areas he can address, including bereavement, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and co-morbidity.
Sessions are conducted in English and Sal accepts clients who are outside the UK. Before booking, people should check which session formats are currently offered. To begin, visitors use the site's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
How psychodynamic and somatic approaches work online
Saleem combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic and somatic-informed ways of working. Psychodynamic approaches look at patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences shape current relationships; this can help when someone wants to understand recurring emotional responses. Somatic-informed methods involve gentle attention to body sensations and simple practices that can reduce overwhelm when strong feelings or trauma are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust them as understanding grows, making sure the approach fits the person's needs rather than the other way around.
The biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also enable quieter sessions that focus on breath work or short somatic exercises without a long commute.
