About Selina

Selina Rainford is a UK-credentialed therapist with six years of professional training and practice. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Over her career she has supported people facing stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, recovering from trauma and abuse, and managing depression. Her practice also addresses self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and matters affecting LGBT clients, among other areas of focus.

Selina approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and brings strengths that can help them move through challenge. She emphasises collaboration, helping clients identify practical steps and inner resources to create a more fulfilling and happier life. Recognising that reaching out for support takes courage, she aims to offer a supportive and empowering space for people to explore change, build resilience, and work toward their goals.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Therapy

Selina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skills and reflective work to address presenting problems. One common approach focuses on skills-based strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - these techniques teach concrete tools for managing stress, anxiety, mood, and cravings. Another approach centres on exploring patterns in relationships and attachment, helping clients understand how past experiences shape present behaviour and supporting healthier connection and boundaries. Both approaches are grounded in research and tailored to each person’s situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Selina works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time based on how a client responds, aiming to build practical coping skills while also addressing underlying issues.

Online therapy with Selina is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible for people to access a registered professional from their own location, manage appointments more easily, and continue work between sessions in a way that suits their lifestyle.
