About Salma Begum
Working mainly from a person-centred approach, Salma places individual experience, emotion and personal values at the core of the therapeutic process. Her aim is to foster an environment that encourages healing, personal growth and increased self-awareness, helping people find clarity and emotional balance when life feels overwhelming.
Salma supports people grappling with low mood, anxiety, feeling stuck, major life changes, grief and relationship breakdowns, and she has experience addressing trauma, domestic abuse and other complex emotional challenges. Her earlier work in the charity sector and three years supporting survivors of human trafficking and modern slavery have helped shape a trauma-aware practice and an informed, compassionate response to difficult experiences.
She holds a degree in Psychology and Criminology and completed a Masters in professional training in counselling and psychotherapy, with clinical placements that included NHS work in a GP setting. Salma brings a culturally sensitive and inclusive outlook to her practice, recognising how background and lived experience influence how people cope and heal. Her practice emphasises listening, empathy and collaboration as people explore change and recovery.
