About Selamawit

Selamawit Zere is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English, Amharic and Tigrinya. Selamawit asks clients to see themselves as experts in their own stories and builds on existing strengths during work together.

She helps people talk through overwhelming feelings and practical problems. That can mean naming patterns that keep causing pain, practising ways to manage panic or strong emotion, and looking at how past hurts affect present relationships. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change.

When trauma or loss is involved, Selamawit takes a stepwise approach so people feel able to manage each step. She also addresses issues linked to attachment, body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, sexuality, and communication problems. Work may involve learning tools for calmer responses and clearer boundaries.

Sessions try to be pragmatic and paced to the client. Selamawit supports exploration of feelings alongside practical strategies for day-to-day coping. She encourages small, manageable changes and checks progress as therapy continues.

People interested in working together begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging an initial meeting. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are noted in the biography and tend to focus on practical skills and step-by-step work. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding and emotion regulation techniques to manage panic and anxiety. These tools help reduce immediate distress and build steadier daily routines.

Another approach is trauma-informed processing that proceeds gradually. This involves naming traumatic responses, building coping skills, and then revisiting painful memories when the person feels ready. That approach aims to reduce the hold past events have on current relationships and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying an initial set of techniques and adjusting as therapy progresses.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that meetings by video or phone help maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday commitments.
