About Selim
Selim Guzel offers a person-centred way of working that prioritises empathy and respect. He creates a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, low self‑esteem and depression. Sessions are gentle and non-directive, letting each person lead the pace and focus of their work.
He draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside humanistic ideas, and brings influences from existential and psychodynamic thinking. Selim has three years of experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and different life challenges.
How Selim works
He pays particular attention to multicultural concerns and the impacts of prejudice and discrimination. Selim can help people thinking about fatherhood issues, family of origin or family problems, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose. He also supports those coping with immigration-related stresses, social anxiety, isolation and struggles with self‑love.
Creative approaches are available but optional. His background includes a Master of Science degree and accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That training influences his focus on authenticity, agency and avoiding stigmatising labels.
Creative tools such as music, writing, drawing and movement can be used to explore feelings when words don’t feel enough. Selim aims to work alongside people to build understanding and practical steps towards greater wellbeing.

Client‑centred care online and how it helps
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and respected. The therapist listens without directing, helping people to clarify feelings and make choices that feel true to them. This approach suits worries like anxiety, low self‑esteem, relationship strain and grief because it centres the person’s own experience.Selim also uses humanistic and existential ideas alongside client‑centred work, which can help when people are questioning life purpose or feeling a loss of meaning. Creative methods such as music, writing or movement may be offered to express emotions that are hard to name, and these tools are optional according to preference.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt sessions as needed so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full face-to-face feel, phone can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel and to keep continuity when schedules change.
