About Reshma

Reshma Salam is a BACP counsellor who supports adults and young people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and other life changes. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through difficult feelings and consider options for change. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she works at each person’s pace.

Reshma uses a client-centred approach, focusing on the individual’s experience and what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She listens for strengths and helps people notice patterns that keep them feeling stuck. The goal is to help clients find their own answers, whether that means making changes in daily life or shifting how they relate to themselves. Her background includes several years of therapeutic work in services for children and young people and voluntary sector roles supporting women.

That experience informs how she talks about miscarriage of trust, abandonment, blended family issues, and postpartum depression. She draws on practical resources and ideas alongside empathic listening. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Reshma aligns sessions to what feels workable for each client, whether that is shorter check-ins by text or regular video conversations. Fees vary by region and are billed via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

The focus is on steady, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.

Online support

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. The counsellor listens without judging and reflects what the client is feeling. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, and parenting worries by encouraging self-understanding and personal choice.

Reshma tailors the approach to each person. She will work collaboratively to find out what feels most helpful and adjust the way they work together as needs and goals evolve. Deciding on the right approach is part of the process and happens alongside regular conversations about progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging provide quick ways to reflect between longer sessions and can be used for brief updates or focused support. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy family and work lives and to keep continuity when travel or schedules change.
