Reshma Salam helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and career worries. She also supports those coping with life changes and related issues such as abandonment, blended family difficulties, domestic violence, immigration concerns, isolation and multicultural stress.

Reshma works with young people and adults who want practical ways to feel steadier and more understood. Her approach is warm and straightforward.

Background and approach

Sessions are led by the client’s priorities and progress moves at a comfortable pace. Reshma listens without judgement and aims to help people find their own answers and build on their strengths. She uses person-centred skills and draws on other helpful ideas as needed.

Reshma holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She has four years of direct counselling experience working with individuals on emotional and practical concerns. Sessions are offered in English and are shaped to each person’s situation.

People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through painful events or everyday pressures. Therapy can focus on learning new coping ways, improving relationships, managing mood, or working through past hurt. Reshma supports people who want steady progress and clearer choices.

Her background includes roles supporting children and young people and work for charities that focus on mental health and women’s services. This experience informs how she responds to family-related stresses and postnatal or multicultural issues. Reshma aims to combine empathy with practical steps people can use between sessions.

How client-centred practice works online

Reshma uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and responding to each person as an individual. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance so people can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace; this approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, relationship stress and grief.

She may also integrate other helpful ideas alongside the person-centred approach when a client needs practical tools. Those additions are chosen to match the person’s goals and circumstances rather than applied as a fixed programme. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process between therapist and client.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that helps rapport. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short, flexible check-ins or when writing helps people organise their thoughts.

The therapist will work with the client to pick formats and methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences. This helps ensure sessions are practical, manageable and focused on progress rather than one-size-fits-all rules.
