Reshma Salam , BACP

Reshma Salam is a BACP-registered counsellor who provides one-to-one counselling for adults and young people, bringing a client-focused approach to her work. With four years of professional experience, she aims to create an empowering environment where people can explore their feelings, better understand themselves, and identify the changes they want to make.

Reshma prioritizes understanding, respect, and a non-judgmental stance, and she works at each person’s pace to support emotional processing and practical change. Trained in a person-centered model - often called client-centered therapy - she encourages clients to discover their own answers while offering empathic guidance and reflective listening. She also integrates elements from other modalities and resources to tailor sessions to individual needs.

Her practice focuses on relationship and family issues, parenting, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, blended family challenges, domestic violence, family of origin issues, immigration-related stress, loneliness, multicultural concerns, postpartum depression, prejudice and discrimination, self-love, and young adult transitions. Reshma conducts sessions in English and works from the United Kingdom. As a BACP-registered practitioner, she follows the professional standards associated with that credential.

Client-Centered Care and Online Accessibility

Reshma uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening deeply, reflecting emotions, and supporting each person to find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, grief, and adapting to life changes because it emphasizes empathy and the client’s own pace.

In addition to a person-centered foundation, she draws on an integrative mindset by including other modalities and resources as needed to address specific problems such as trauma, parenting challenges, or family dynamics. That flexibility lets her adapt techniques to what a client finds most useful rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is explored collaboratively. Reshma works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs so they can choose methods that fit their situation. Licensed professionals and therapists often tailor care over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical benefits for many people. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives, allowing continuity of care and regular check-ins even when in-person appointments are difficult.
