About Selamawit

Selamawit Zere helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger using an evidence-based therapeutic approach. She works with individuals who want practical ways to manage panic, improve communication, and address attachment or body image concerns. Selamawit is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience in practice.

She begins by listening to each person’s story and identifying strengths that can be built on. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. Selamawit uses approaches that aim to reduce panic symptoms, ease post-traumatic stress reactions, and improve day-to-day coping.

Her work covers feelings such as guilt, shame, isolation and loneliness, and she supports people dealing with sexuality and women's issues. Practical communication skills form part of her work with relationship concerns. Sessions also address grief and loss in straightforward, paced conversations.

Selamawit draws on techniques that help people understand how past attachment patterns affect current relationships. She also helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and reactions that keep anxiety and anger active. Her focus is on actions and reflections that clients can try between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English, Amharic and Tigrinya. She accepts international clients and works within standards set by the BACP. To begin, clients use the site matching process to schedule a first session and discuss goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Selamawit uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One approach she uses focuses on recognising and changing unhelpful thoughts and reactions; this helps with anxiety, panic and negative self-image by teaching new ways to respond to stressful situations.

Another strand of her work looks at attachment patterns and how early relationship experiences affect current connections. This helps when communication problems, relationship difficulties or feelings of isolation are present by identifying patterns and practising different interaction strategies.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Selamawit will work with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so check the available session options when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments, and it can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera. Ask about the specific formats offered before your first appointment.
