About Selena

Selena Zafar is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship issues. She speaks plainly and listens closely, aiming to make sessions feel calm and steady. Selena offers online sessions across the United Kingdom and to international clients in English.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. Sessions move at a pace that suits the client and focus on what matters most to them.

Background and approach

Goals are set together and adjusted as progress continues. Selena trained to be a counsellor after her own experience of therapy and recently completed a Master of Science degree which helps her relate to students and early-career adults. She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her background as a biracial counsellor from a multi-faith and multi-cultural family shapes her perspective. That life experience informs work on identity and cultural concerns, as well as bereavement and race-related matters. Selena describes herself as warm and empathetic in session.

Clients can explore a wide range of issues including loss, self-esteem, addictions, eating-related worries, ADHD-related concerns and compassion fatigue. Conversations are intended to be practical and humane, helping people find clearer ways forward at their own pace.

Ways of working Selena names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred approaches and online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and helps people clarify their own goals. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, grief, identity and relationship concerns where someone needs a steady, understanding presence.

Selena will work collaboratively to find the right way forward. Deciding which approach suits a person is part of the work and she will adjust pace, focus and methods based on the client’s needs and preferences. The relationship and shared planning guide how therapy develops.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a problem. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit counselling around work, study and family life while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
