About Selamawit
Selamawit Zere is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and anger. She works in English, Amharic and Tigrinya. Selamawit aims to create a space where people can talk about difficult experiences and find clearer ways forward.
She believes each person knows their story best and brings their own strengths to the work. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Selamawit emphasises steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her background includes three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs the way she frames goals and plans therapy with each person.
Typical concerns she addresses include attachment issues, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people working through sexuality and women’s issues. Sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Selamawit accepts international clients and adapts the format to suit people’s schedules and preferences. The initial step is a short matching questionnaire followed by arranging sessions at a mutually convenient time.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Selamawit uses evidence-based techniques to help people process difficult experiences and build coping skills. For example, trauma-informed talking approaches focus on gently exploring distressing memories and current triggers so the person can reduce their day-to-day impact. This can help with post-traumatic stress, panic and overwhelming emotions.Another common focus is skills-based work to manage anxiety and stress. That involves learning short practices and behavioural steps to reduce intense reactions, improve sleep and handle panic attacks when they occur. Skills can be practised between sessions and reviewed together to see what helps.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods and adjust the plan based on what the person finds most helpful. This collaborative way makes it easier to shape therapy around practical needs and personal preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging offer flexibility for brief reflections or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more accessible across time zones and busy lives.
