About Reshma
Reshma Salam is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She offers one-to-one counselling for adults and young people and lists relationship, parenting, self-esteem and blended family issues among the concerns she supports. Her practice includes work on depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger and coping with life changes.
She uses a client-centred approach. That means sessions are focused on the person in front of her, with the aim of helping them find their own next steps. Reshma adapts what happens in the room to a person’s pace and needs rather than following a rigid plan.
In practical terms she listens for what matters most to each client and helps untangle patterns that get in the way of clearer choices. Discussions can cover family of origin, immigration stress, multicultural pressures, and issues such as postpartum depression or isolation. She also works with concerns around abandonment, domestic violence impact, prejudice and discrimination, and young adult transitions.
Her background includes roles in local authority children and young people services and work with a leading children’s mental health charity. She currently works as a senior counsellor for a women’s charity. Those roles inform how she talks about parenting, family problems and blended household tensions.
Sessions are aimed at helping people make practical changes in daily life and relationships. People are encouraged to identify small steps they can try between meetings. If booking, confirm current session options before scheduling a first appointment.
How client-centred counselling works online
Reshma uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres conversations on the person’s experience and immediate concerns. This approach focuses on listening carefully and reflecting back what matters to the client, which can help with relationship strain, low self-worth and parenting stress.She also draws on practical resources and elements from other approaches to support coping skills and problem solving. These additions tend to be short, task-focused steps that people can try between meetings to test what helps them in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss aims, preferences and what has helped before, and then agree on a way of working together. That collaborative decision can be revised as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective support this way, and the therapist will help decide which session rhythm fits best with everyday life.
