Selamawit Zere

Selamawit Zere welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship problems or the impact of past trauma. She offers a calm, steady presence and aims to help clients name their difficulties and find clearer ways forward. Selamawit frames the work around each person's strengths and pace to make change feel achievable.

She holds a BACP credential, which reflects her professional standing in the UK. Selamawit has around three years of practice experience supporting people through grief, anger and panic attacks. Her approach values the client's perspective and uses straightforward discussion and practical steps rather than jargon.

Sessions focus on everyday problems such as communication breakdowns, shame or guilt, and body image concerns. Selamawit also works with people dealing with attachment struggles and feelings of isolation. She aims to create a space where difficult memories and emotions can be talked through without pressure.

Her style is collaborative and pace-sensitive. She encourages small experiments between sessions and practical ways to manage intense moments. The aim is to help people build coping skills and notice gradual shifts in how they respond to stressors.

People who speak English, Amharic or Tigrinya can work with her. Those outside the UK can be considered for sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a schedule selection are used to connect people to her practice.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in this type of work include problem-focused talking therapy and skills-based approaches. Problem-focused talking therapy involves discussing current difficulties and identifying patterns that keep them going, which can help with relationship issues, anxiety and grief. Skills-based approaches teach practical tools such as breathing or grounding techniques and communication strategies that people can practise between sessions to manage panic or strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and then try methods that suit the person. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as needs change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work with a therapist who speaks English, Amharic or Tigrinya even if they live elsewhere. Discuss practical arrangements during the initial scheduling step to find a pattern that fits daily life.
