About Selim

Selim Guzel works with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and depression using a person-centred approach. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience in the field.

He uses Client-Centred Therapy as the base of his practice. That means he listens without directing, and helps people make sense of their feelings at their own pace. Selim also draws on humanistic, existential and psychodynamic themes to shape conversations when helpful.

Selim offers options to explore feelings through creative methods, such as writing, music, drawing and movement. These are optional tools to help people express things words may not reach. He emphasises respect for cultural background and the ways identity and belonging affect mental health.

He has worked with people from a range of backgrounds on issues including family of origin difficulties, fatherhood concerns, immigration-related stress, loneliness and social anxiety. Selim also addresses guilt, shame, forgiveness and questions about life purpose.

Sessions are non-directive and collaborative. He aims to support individual autonomy and avoid prescriptive solutions. Work can focus on immediate coping and understanding, or on exploring longer-standing patterns and personal meaning.

Selim speaks English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Selim applies client-centred work to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. In practice this means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings and works at a pace the client is comfortable with. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and questions about identity.

He also integrates humanistic and existential ideas to look at meaning, values and how life choices fit with a person’s sense of self. These approaches help when someone is grappling with life purpose, cultural belonging or decisions that feel heavy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Selim will discuss aims, try different ways of working and agree what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences shape the sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also mean less need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to suit each person’s practical needs.
