About Selina
Selina Wigmore offers psychodynamic counselling to help people understand patterns that shape their feelings and choices. She creates a calm space where people can talk about worry, loss, low self-esteem and relationship strain. Selina uses conversation to help people notice how the past connects to the present.
This helps people make different choices and feel more able to engage with life. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety and depression alongside grief and trauma.
How Selina works
She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, intimacy-related concerns and compassion fatigue. Additional areas include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, eating and food-related issues, and communication problems. Selina draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to explore repeating patterns and emotional responses.
Psychodynamic work looks for links between early experiences and current behaviour so that those patterns can be named and understood. Once patterns are identified, she helps people try out new ways of relating and reacting. With six years' experience, Selina uses a patient, listening-first style.
She aims to help people build a clearer sense of who they are and grow self-esteem. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person's needs. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Sessions are available to people in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on the links between past experiences and current feelings. It helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships and emotional responses so those patterns can be understood and changed. This approach is often used for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and difficulties with intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Selina will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person to decide what fits best. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as understanding grows.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a more traditional face-to-face feeling. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins, mid-day sessions or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
