Selina Wigmore, BACP

Selina Wigmore offers a warm, nurturing approach aimed at helping people feel genuinely heard and supported. She works to create a space where individuals can move from merely existing toward living with greater purpose and engagement. Selina prioritizes emotional safety and attentive listening so clients can explore difficult feelings and experiences without judgment.

Her practice is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, which links past experiences to present patterns of thought and behaviour. By identifying recurring themes and relational patterns, Selina helps clients understand how early relationships and life events influence current reactions. Once these patterns are recognised, the therapeutic work focuses on gently challenging them and supporting sustainable change.

Selina spends time getting to know each person she works with and encourages increased self-understanding as part of that process. This often leads to a clearer sense of identity, strengthened self-esteem, and greater confidence to engage with others and with life choices. She holds the BACP credential - the abbreviation for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates her connection to established professional standards.

Psychodynamic work and flexible online sessions

Selina works from a psychodynamic perspective, helping clients explore how earlier relationships and experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. This approach focuses on identifying repeating patterns and unconscious dynamics so individuals can understand why they react in certain ways and begin to make different choices. It is often helpful for relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, and struggles with identity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Selina approaches this collaboratively. She will work with clients to clarify goals, assess what resonates, and adapt the way she works so it fits each person’s needs and preferences. The therapeutic plan is shaped together rather than imposed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family life, or mobility constraints, and allow clients to receive support from their own surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
