About Salma
Salma Begum is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works mainly from a person-centred approach and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and trauma. Sessions are conducted in English and she practises in the United Kingdom.
Salma places the client's experience at the centre of therapy. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen to emotions and values without judgement. This means conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on making sense of feelings in daily life.
Her background includes a degree in Psychology and Criminology and a Masters in professional training in counselling and psychotherapy. Early work in the charity sector and clinical time in a GP setting with the NHS shaped her practice. She has experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, grief and domestic abuse related concerns.
Salma also spent three years working with a charity supporting survivors of human trafficking and modern slavery. That experience informs a trauma-aware way of working and an emphasis on cultural sensitivity. She aims to recognise how background and identity affect emotional responses.
Typical areas she helps with include life changes, relationship break-ups, family and parenthood stresses, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency and communication problems. People looking for a reflective, listening-focused approach may find this style useful.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location.

How Client-Centred ways of working translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience, reflecting feelings and building understanding. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on what matters to the client now, helping them name emotions and decide what to explore next. This method is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, relationship issues and processing loss.Salma's trauma-aware perspective means she pays attention to how background and past harm shape current responses. In practice she listens for signs of overwhelm and adapts the pace according to each person's comfort. Together they consider which topics to prioritise and how to work on them over time, making decisions collaboratively rather than prescribing a fixed plan.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings, lower data use or not being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these options to help therapy fit around everyday commitments.
