About me
Welcome to WeCounsel Mental Health Counselling & Therapy. My name is Saleha Choudhury, and I am a BACP Accredited counsellor and psychotherapist. I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where adults can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship challenges, I am here to help you find resilience, clarity, and growth.
As a Muslim female counsellor with Bengali heritage, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. I understand how cultural, religious, and family dynamics can deeply shape your well-being, and I welcome clients from all backgrounds and faiths, including Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, Buddhist, and non-religious clients. My own journey of overcoming depression and anxiety through natural and holistic approaches has shaped the way I support clients: with empathy, authenticity, and hope.
Professional Standards
What It Means To Be BACP Accredited
Being a BACP Accredited Counsellor means more than just being registered. Accreditation is a recognised mark of quality, showing that I have achieved a high level of training, clinical experience, and ethical practice. It demonstrates that my work has been rigorously assessed by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), ensuring I maintain continuous professional development, supervision, and accountability. For you, this means reassurance that you are working with a trusted professional committed to safe and effective therapy.

Integrative Practice
My Approach
I am a humanistic and integrative counsellor, which means I draw on a wide range of evidence-based approaches to meet your unique needs. These include:
The approaches I work with
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for managing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Schema Therapy to understand and heal deep-rooted patterns.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helping you live a values-based life.
Person-Centred Therapy providing a compassionate and non-judgmental space.
Psychodynamic and Humanistic approaches exploring how past experiences influence present struggles.
Mindfulness and Walk-and-Talk Therapy grounding you in the present moment and connecting with nature.
This integrative approach allows me to support a wide range of concerns, from low self-esteem, confidence issues, and work-related stress, to relationship problems, bereavement, and cultural identity challenges.

Working Together
What You Can Expect From Therapy With Me
I believe that you are the expert on your life. My role is not to judge or dictate, but to provide a supportive and collaborative space where you feel truly heard. You can expect:
Respectful and undivided attention
A safe and confidential environment
A culturally sensitive and empathetic approach
A balance of compassion and evidence-based techniques
Together, we can explore how you relate to yourself, others, and the world. Therapy is not only about healing, but also about growth, self-acceptance, and resilience.
Who I Work With
The people who come to see me
I work with adults, individually, in person and online. Most people arrive with one of these in mind.
Feeling stuck
Low mood, low motivation, or the sense that the same patterns keep repeating no matter what you try.
Anxiety and overwhelm
Constant worry, panic attacks, overthinking, or being on edge and unable to switch off.
The past catching up
Trauma, bereavement, or early family experiences that are still shaping how you feel and relate now.
Relationships and identity
Relationship difficulties, family expectations, cultural identity, self-esteem, and confidence at work.
Practical Details
How sessions work
First contact
We start with a free 15-minute phone call. You tell me what is going on, I explain how I work, and you decide whether to book a first session.
Format and length
Sessions last 50 minutes, usually weekly at the same time. In person in Seven Kings, Ilford, or by secure video or telephone anywhere in the UK.
How long therapy lasts
Some people come for six to twelve sessions with a specific focus. Others stay longer for deeper work. We review together as we go.
Confidentiality
What you bring stays between us, within the BACP ethical framework. I discuss my work in regular clinical supervision without identifying you.
