Saima Qaiyum, BACP

Saima Qaiyum is a UK-based counsellor with nine years of experience who creates a compassionate, supportive space for people working through emotional difficulties. She helps clients explore emotional responses and behaviours to increase self-awareness and identify both immediate and deeper issues that affect daily life. Saima blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor practical strategies that suit each person’s needs.

Her approach emphasizes identifying barriers and drawing on resources both inside and outside the counselling session, so clients can develop personalized steps toward practical and emotional fulfilment. She has experience supporting a wide range of people, including young adults and clients with ADHD, and works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and intimacy-related issues.

Saima is associated with BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in English and is located in the United Kingdom, and she supports clients from diverse backgrounds, including international clients. Her practice focuses on collaboration, exploring attachment and communication patterns, and helping people identify strategies and resources that work for them as they navigate life changes and personal challenges.
