Selamawit Zere, BACP

Selamawit Zere is a UK-based therapist who brings a compassionate, strengths-focused approach to helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - indicating her commitment to recognized professional standards in the United Kingdom. Working in English, Amharic, and Tigrinya, she supports clients from diverse backgrounds, including international clients, and pays attention to related concerns such as attachment issues, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, and women's issues.

Selamawit views each person as the expert on their own life and believes that existing strengths can be mobilized to overcome current challenges. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the individual, helping people take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. Her process emphasizes collaboration, practical support, and steady guidance so clients can build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and restore a greater sense of balance and connection in their lives.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Selamawit draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and focused on the issues clients bring. One approach emphasizes skills-based strategies for stress, anxiety, and panic attacks - teaching breathing, grounding, and coping tools that help reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach is trauma-informed support that prioritizes safety and pacing while helping clients process experiences of trauma and abuse, which can be useful for post-traumatic stress and related symptoms. She also offers focused support for grief and loss, helping clients make meaning and adapt to life changes in a way that honors their experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Selamawit works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so the plan fits the individual rather than making the person fit a single method.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking help. Sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and travel, and increase access for international clients or those who prefer remote sessions. This flexibility allows clients to receive consistent, ongoing support in ways that suit their life and comfort level.
