About Selamawit
Selamawit Zere is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. She also focuses on attachment issues, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, and women's issues.
She meets people where they are and treats them as the expert in their own story. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps. Selamawit listens for what matters most and helps clients notice strengths they already have.
In sessions she helps people untangle repeating patterns in relationships and manage intense feelings like shame and guilt. She works through concrete skills for coping with panic and anxiety, and supports processing experiences of loss or trauma at a pace that feels manageable. The approach is collaborative and paced to the individual.
Selamawit combines practical techniques with reflective conversation. She helps people practise communication strategies and try new ways of responding to old situations. When body image or sexuality are part of the concern, she brings those topics into the open for careful discussion.
Her background includes professional work across several settings in the UK. Sessions are offered in English, Amharic and Tigrinya. People are invited to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial meeting to see how the work might fit them.
Approaches used and how online sessions are arranged
Selamawit's work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. She helps people learn skills for managing anxiety and panic, such as grounding and breathing methods that reduce immediate physical symptoms and restore a sense of control.She also supports processing of difficult experiences through careful, paced conversation that looks at how past events shape current feelings and relationships. This approach helps when grief, trauma, guilt or shame are keeping someone stuck in repetitive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help clients decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the way sessions run in collaboration with each person. The focus is on trying things and noticing what helps.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions fit around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly offer remote options; check the platform for the precise formats this counsellor currently provides.
