About Selamawit
Selamawit Zere is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and anger.
Selamawit treats each conversation as practical and respectful. She believes people know their own story and have strengths to draw on. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps a person can try between meetings.
She offers help for attachment issues and communication problems. She also works with body image, guilt and shame, isolation and panic attacks. Post-traumatic stress, sexuality and women’s issues are further areas she addresses.
Her way of working is collaborative. She listens to what the person wants to change and discusses simple strategies to manage feelings. She will look at patterns that keep old problems going and suggest small, achievable adjustments.
Selamawit speaks English, Amharic and Tigrinya. International clients are accepted. People are asked to follow the site booking flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
Background and approach notes: the BACP listing signals professional registration with that body. With three years' practice, Selamawit draws on straightforward conversation and practical tasks rather than technical jargon. Prospective clients should check the booking details to confirm current session options before arranging a first appointment.
Approaches used and how online counselling is offered
Selamawit uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach ways to respond differently, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Trauma-informed methods pay attention to how past events affect current reactions and help people learn how to manage flashbacks and strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Selamawit will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit their situation. This is a collaborative process and may change as the work progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking through the site. The practical benefits of counselling by distance include fitting sessions around work or family commitments, shorter check-ins when needed, and the option to avoid travel time. These options can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to try out counselling without large changes to everyday routines.
