Selamawit Zere, BACP

Selamawit Zere is a UK-based therapist who supports people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. She brings three years of professional experience to her work and is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - a recognised UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She offers a respectful, strengths-based approach that recognises each person as the expert in their own story and builds on individual resources to face current challenges.

Selamawit works with a wide range of concerns including attachment difficulties, body image struggles, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, and women's issues. She aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop practical coping strategies to move toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapy with Selamawit emphasises collaboration and courage in taking the first steps toward change. She provides support with empathy and clear guidance, helping clients identify goals and practical steps that fit their circumstances. Sessions are available in English, Amharic, and Tigrinya, and she accepts international clients.

Evidence-based techniques for flexible online support

Selamawit uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. These approaches often involve identifying thought patterns, testing unhelpful beliefs, and developing practical coping skills to reduce stress and anxiety and improve daily functioning.

She also applies trauma-informed and relational work that supports processing difficult experiences and rebuilding a sense of safety in relationships. This focus can help people manage symptoms related to past abuse or loss and address attachment or communication problems in current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Selamawit works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will explore techniques, pace, and focus so that therapy feels useful and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and allows clients to access support from different locations. This flexibility can help people balance therapy with work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
