About Selena
Selena Zafar is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She works in a respectful, non-judgemental way so clients can talk honestly about what matters to them.

Selena follows Person-Centred Therapy, an approach that treats the client as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on empathic listening and creating space to understand feelings and decisions. She collaborates with each person to set goals and chooses the pace that suits them. Her background includes a Master of Science degree, which she completed recently, and three years working as a counsellor.
That mix of study and personal experience shapes how she supports people through identity, cultural and bereavement concerns. Selena also brings lived experience of growing up in a multi-faith, multicultural family. She lists a wide range of concerns she helps with, including relationships, LGBT issues, trauma, low self-esteem, addictions and challenges such as parenting and career stress.
Other focus areas include attachment problems, body image and coping with separation or loss. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and practical arrangements.

How Person-Centred Care Adapts to Online Work
Person-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of each session. It relies on warm, non-judgemental listening and reflection so people can make sense of feelings and choices. This approach is often used for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and adjustments to life changes.Selena emphasises collaboration when choosing how to work together. She will talk with each person about goals, pace and what feels helpful. Finding the right approach is a shared process and may shift as the work develops.
Practical advantages of online work include easier scheduling around daily life and fewer barriers to attending when travel is difficult. Online sessions can fit into a lunch break, reduce travel time, or make it simpler to connect from another country since international clients are accepted. Because session formats were not specified in the original profile, confirm which formats are offered before booking so arrangements match your needs. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly adapt Person-Centred methods to phone or video work when appropriate.
