Selena Zafar

Selena Zafar is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people work through anger and related concerns. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for clients to talk about stress, grief, relationship strain, self-esteem and other difficult feelings. Selena writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and respected from the first session.

She follows the Person-Centred approach originally developed by Carl Rogers, which means she treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and move at a comfortable pace set by them. The work is collaborative - goals are agreed together and adjusted as needs change.

Selena trained as a counsellor and holds a Master of Science degree, which she completed recently. Her background includes personal experience of therapy, and she draws on that perspective when supporting others. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

She has particular interest in cultural and identity issues and comes from a multi-faith, multi-cultural background. This informs her understanding of race, bereavement and identity-related struggles without assuming any single experience applies to everyone.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, parenting pressures, career stress and anger. People who prefer a respectful, patient and empathetic counsellor may find her style helpful.

How person-centred work can translate to online counselling

Person-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, genuine listening and acceptance. The counsellor aims to provide a warm, non-judgemental space so people can talk through feelings like anger, grief or anxiety. This approach suits issues where being heard and understood helps people find their own solutions.

Selena emphasises working at the client's pace and agreeing goals together. In practice this means sessions follow the person's concerns and priorities rather than a fixed agenda. She will collaborate with each client to decide how to proceed and adjust the approach as the work unfolds.

Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit talks into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Different ways of meeting have practical trade-offs, for example a shorter audio check-in can be useful when someone has limited time or bandwidth. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt the person-centred approach to work effectively at a distance, focusing on consistent listening, clear goals and a steady therapeutic relationship.
