About Reshma
Reshma Salam is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' counselling experience. She works with adults and young people on relationship strain, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career issues and coping with life changes.
She takes a person-centred approach. Sessions focus on the client's concerns and pace. Discussions are direct and practical. The aim is to help people notice patterns, find their own answers and make changes that feel sustainable.
Reshma draws on the person-centred model while using other helpful resources where they fit. That means conversations concentrate on what matters most to the client. Techniques are used as tools rather than strict rules, and the emphasis is on clear steps forward.
Her background includes work in children and young people services for a local authority, experience with a leading children’s mental health charity and a current role as a senior counsellor at a women’s charity. Those roles have involved a range of family and community issues that feed into her practical approach.
In sessions she offers space to talk through family of origin issues, blended family challenges, immigration and multicultural concerns, postpartum depression, abandonment and isolation. She also addresses domestic violence, prejudice and discrimination and the specific strains that affect young adults and parents.
How sessions work
How client-centred ways work online
Reshma uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client brings. This approach helps when someone wants to talk through anger, relationship stress or grief and discover their own next steps rather than receive directives.She also adapts other practical techniques where they help, using them as tools to address specific problems like parenting strain or low self-esteem. Those techniques are chosen in conversation and applied at a pace the client sets.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will settle on the approach that fits those needs. This is collaborative and open to revision as things change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a work break. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit with everyday life and responsibilities.
