Salma Begum

Salma Begum is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She provides a warm, supportive and non-judgmental space where people can talk openly and begin to explore the challenges they are facing.

Her practice is informed mainly by a person-centred approach, which places each person’s experiences, emotions and values at the heart of the therapeutic work. Salma aims to create a safe environment that supports healing, personal growth and increased self-awareness.

She has four years of clinical experience and holds a degree in Psychology and Criminology. Her training continued with a Masters in professional training in counselling and psychotherapy, and she gained clinical experience working in the NHS in a GP setting. Salma’s professional journey began in the charity sector, supporting people with a range of mental health issues, and she spent three years working with a charity that supports survivors of human trafficking and modern slavery, which has helped shape her trauma-aware practice.

Salma specialises in supporting people with depression and low mood, anxiety and panic, relationship difficulties and break-ups, life transitions and identity challenges, grief and loss, trauma and recovery, and issues related to cultural identity and belonging. She brings a culturally sensitive and inclusive approach to her work and values the ways that background and lived experience shape how people move through life and heal.

For anyone ready to take a first step, Salma is available to walk alongside them in the therapeutic process.
