He works with people facing a range of challenges, offering support with relationships, grief, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, addiction and many other life difficulties. As a BACP Registered Counsellor he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects his professional standing and commitment to ongoing practice.

Saleem brings a strong interest in human psychology and neurodiversity, with particular knowledge of ADD, ADHD and autism. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore feelings, build understanding and move toward meaningful change. Sessions focus on helping clients gain insight and develop practical ways to cope and grow.

His methods include cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT), psychodynamic work, Gestalt approaches and person-centred practice, adapted to suit each person’s needs and goals. Treatment choices are shaped around the client’s preferences rather than a fixed formula.

Approaches in online therapy and how they help

Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual's experience, offering empathic listening and support so clients can find their own solutions and build self-understanding. This approach is well suited to people needing a supportive space to explore relationships, self-esteem and life changes.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns from past experiences and how they shape current feelings and relationships, helping clients gain insight into recurring difficulties such as attachment issues, intimacy problems or unresolved grief.

Somatic therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and how stress and trauma are held in the body, offering tools to reconnect physical experience with emotional healing and to manage symptoms like tension or agitation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Saleem works collaboratively with each person and with licensed professionals when appropriate to decide which methods best match a client’s needs, goals and preferences.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexible scheduling and the ability to work from a location that feels comfortable. These options help people maintain continuity of care around busy lives, travel constraints or geographic distance while engaging in meaningful therapeutic work.
