About Selena
Selena Zafar is a counsellor who helps people dealing with depression, stress and anxiety. She meets people where they are and focuses on building trust so clients feel heard. Her manner is warm and calm, and she works at each person’s pace.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the client’s lead and aims to create a non-judgemental space. Sessions focus on honest conversation, clearer self-understanding, and setting practical goals together.
Background and approach
The emphasis is on listening and reflecting rather than directing the person’s choices. Selena trained to counsell and holds a BACP credential, and she recently completed a Master of Science degree which informs her work with students and adults. She brings three years of professional experience and personal experience of having been through therapy herself.
Her background includes working with issues linked to identity, culture and bereavement, and she draws on her own multi-faith, multi-cultural perspective to understand a broad range of life stories. She supports people with relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and she works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules.

Approaches Selena lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Because the therapist follows the client’s pace, different session styles can be tried and adjusted together. Selena will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful and adapt the way she works to meet changing needs and goals. Finding the right approach is part of the shared process rather than a fixed decision made at the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, each offering practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial expressions and body language, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break, while chat or messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
