About Selena
Selena Zafar is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns, including jealousy and intimacy-related issues. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through painful feelings and decide what changes they want to make. Selena works in English and accepts international clients who are able to arrange sessions from the United Kingdom time zone.
She uses client-centred therapy, which means she follows the person's lead and focuses on understanding their experience. Sessions are collaborative - the client and counsellor agree goals and the pace of work together. This approach is often used for grief, self-esteem, identity, eating and career worries, and for people coping with life changes.
Selena trained to counsell and holds BACP as a recorded credential. She has three years' experience in counselling work and completed a Master of Science degree, which she references as part of her background. She also speaks from personal experience of therapy and from growing up in a multi-faith, multicultural family.
Her additional interests include identity and cultural issues, bereavement, race and sports psychology. She also supports people facing parenting pressures, addiction concerns, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Clients can expect a warm, empathic approach that centres their own expertise about their life.

How client-centred work translates to online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience, not the counsellor’s agenda. It involves active listening, empathy and supporting people to lead the conversation about what matters most to them. This approach is helpful for issues like grief, identity concerns, relationship and intimacy worries, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.The therapist will work collaboratively to find the right way of working. Together they will agree goals, try different ways of exploring feelings and adjust the approach based on what fits the person's needs and preferences. Deciding which methods help most is part of the ongoing process rather than a one-time choice.
The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, study and family routines, and they can reduce travel time. Some formats also make shorter check-ins possible or avoid the need to be on camera, which can help on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to keep therapy consistent when life changes make in-person visits difficult.
