Reshma Salam

Reshma Salam is a BACP counsellor who helps people address relationship strain, parenting worries, low self-esteem and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also supports those coping with depression, grief, anger and major life changes. Her approach is respectful and non-judgmental, focused on helping people find their own solutions at a pace that feels right for them.

In sessions she aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through painful experiences. She uses a client-centred way of working, putting the person’s views and choices at the heart of the process. This approach emphasises listening, empathy and helping people make sense of their feelings.

Reshma draws on a range of resources when needed to fit each person’s situation. That can include practical ideas for coping, reflecting on family patterns, and exploring how past experiences affect present relationships. She works with adults and young people and focuses on helping individuals gain more confidence and clearer direction.

Her background includes several years working in services for young people and women. Those roles involved supporting people through family difficulties, childhood trauma and issues linked to cultural and immigration experiences. This practical experience informs how she supports clients today.

People who choose therapy with Reshma can expect a collaborative, steady process. Sessions are paced to suit what each person needs, with an emphasis on building self-understanding and practical ways to move forward.

How client-centred work adapts to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active listening, empathy and following the person’s lead. It helps people who feel stuck in relationships, who are grieving, or who struggle with self-worth by giving them space to be heard and to notice what matters to them.

In practice this means the counsellor reflects back what is said, asks simple questions and helps the person make sense of their feelings. When needed, practical coping ideas or resources may be suggested to support day-to-day life and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will work with each person to see how client-centred work suits their goals and preferences. Together they will try different ways of working and adjust the focus over time so therapy matches what the person needs.

Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier and help people join from different places across the UK. They may allow quicker check-ins, easier attendance during work breaks, or avoiding travel time. Discuss practical arrangements with the counsellor when you schedule to find the best fit.
