Carl Selby, BACP

Carl Selby is a United Kingdom based therapist credentialed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings three years of professional experience to his practice. He supports people navigating stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, and the adjustments that come with life changes. His work also addresses related concerns such as communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, questions of life purpose and self-love, and social anxiety or phobia.

Carl focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. He uses evidence-informed strategies alongside reflective conversation to help clients build confidence, clarify goals, and develop practical coping skills. He recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and acknowledges that first step as meaningful. To increase accessibility he offers flexible remote options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best fits their needs and availability.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Remote Access

In his practice Carl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical strategies to reduce stress and manage anxiety. These approaches typically involve learning concrete skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviours so clients can regain steadiness and cope better with daily pressures. He also offers a reflective, talk-focused approach that creates space to explore self-esteem, life purpose, and the emotional impact of transitions - this helps people gain insight and build confidence over time.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Carl works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the work aligns with the client’s needs.

Online therapy with Carl is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort. Remote sessions make it simpler to access regular support from home, work, or other settings, and they can help people maintain continuity of care when life gets busy or circumstances change.
