Selamawit Zere

Selamawit Zere welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety or loss. She presents herself as a steady presence for anyone ready to talk about relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, or ongoing worries that affect daily life. Her first priority is listening and helping clients find manageable steps forward.

Selamawit works from the belief that each person knows their story best. She draws on three years of experience to support people as they make practical changes. Sessions focus on small, achievable goals and on building the skills a person already has.

Her approach is collaborative. She encourages clients to notice strengths and to test new ways of coping between meetings. Conversations aim to be direct and down to earth, not full of jargon.

Selamawit holds BACP accreditation, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She speaks English, Amharic and Tigrinya, which helps when cultural or language factors matter to the work.

People come to her with a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including attachment difficulties, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and panic. She also supports those dealing with post-traumatic stress, sexuality questions and women’s issues.

Her style is pragmatic and respectful. New clients are invited to take a first step, outline what they want to change, and then work together to set a path forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing how a person thinks and acts. One common approach helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns that increase anxiety or anger, and then tests new ways of responding in everyday situations. This can reduce intense reactions and make daily life feel more manageable.

Another useful technique concentrates on building practical coping skills. That might include simple breathing and grounding practices, rehearsing difficult conversations, or planning short experiments between sessions to try a different response. These methods are aimed at skills people can use right away when they feel upset.

Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit the person’s goals, needs and preferences. They will adjust the plan over time if something is not working, so the work stays practical and goal focused.

Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling during lunch breaks or evenings. Some people find short check-ins helpful when they need quick support, while others prefer longer sessions for deeper work.
