Reshma Salam, BACP

Reshma Salam is a BACP-registered counsellor offering one-to-one support for adults and young people across a range of life challenges. With four years of professional experience, Reshma focuses on creating an empowering therapeutic relationship where clients are treated with respect, warmth, and without judgment. She emphasizes working at each person's pace so they can explore their feelings, discover their own answers, and make meaningful changes both inwardly and in daily life.

Using a primary client-centered approach, Reshma provides a supportive space for people dealing with relationship and family concerns, parenting difficulties, self-esteem struggles, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions, and transitions. She also attends to issues such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, domestic violence, family of origin matters, immigration challenges, isolation or loneliness, multicultural concerns, postpartum depression, prejudice and discrimination, and young adult adjustment.

Reshma integrates additional resources and therapeutic elements as needed to tailor each session to the individual. She places the person seeking help at the center of the process, aiming to facilitate insight, strengthen coping, and support forward movement toward goals clients define for themselves. Reshma practices in the United Kingdom and provides therapy in English.

Client-Centered support and online therapy options

Reshma primarily practices Client-Centered Therapy, a respectful, non-directive approach that places the client's experience at the heart of the work. In this model the therapist offers empathy, unconditional positive regard, and reflective listening so clients can explore feelings, clarify values, and strengthen self-understanding - useful for issues like self-esteem, relationships, grief, and life changes.

Reshma also uses integrative elements when appropriate, drawing on additional techniques or resources to address specific needs such as coping with trauma, parenting challenges, or career stress. These flexible additions are chosen to complement the client-centered foundation and to meet the presenting concerns in a practical way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Reshma works collaboratively with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. Online therapy with Reshma is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility so people can access support from home or while balancing other commitments. This range of options helps make ongoing care more convenient and sustainable for a variety of schedules and circumstances.
