Miss Salma Khanom

Counselor

I am a BACP accredited counsellor and clincal supervisor. I have vast experience of working in the nhs and charity sector with clients presenting with common mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or stress. I like to work in a collaborative way aiming to create a space that is open and non judgemental.

About Me

Navigating feelings of anxiety, depression, or stress can feel overwhelming. I offer a grounded, supportive space for you to explore these common mental health challenges. My extensive experience in the NHS and charity sector underpins my collaborative approach. I aim to create an open, non-judgemental environment. Here, we can work together to understand your concerns and build practical ways to manage your wellbeing.

Approach

Therapy unfolds as a conversation rooted in curiosity and practical problem‑solving, where your experience guides the focus. In London I offer face‑to‑face and online sessions, and I can work in Bengali when that helps you feel clearer. We set small, manageable goals, explore relationship patterns and trauma responses, and I suggest simple strategies to practice between meetings so progress carries into daily life. This approach tends to suit adolescents, parents and adults seeking steady, practical support for anxiety, depression or relationship strain.
