About Selim

Selim Guzel offers a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of therapy. He aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk about anxiety, stress, low mood, relationships and grief in everyday language. Selim is described as genuine and non-directive; he listens and reflects rather than telling people what to do.

He trained to MSc level and is affiliated with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Background and approach

Selim has three years of practice experience and works with a range of concerns including self-esteem, feelings of emptiness, and issues tied to family of origin and fatherhood. Cross-cultural sensitivity matters to him. Coming from a multicultural background, he pays attention to how identity, migration and experiences of prejudice affect self-worth and belonging.

He offers a thoughtful space to talk about immigration challenges and multicultural pressures. Creative methods are available when helpful. Selim can bring in music, writing, drawing, movement or spoken-word to help express things that are hard to say.

These tools are optional and used to support whatever a person finds useful in the moment. Sessions are collaborative. He supports people to make their own choices and works to avoid one-size-fits-all approaches.

The aim is clearer self-understanding, relief from distress or simply an empathic place to be heard.

Ways of working Selim names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and respect. The therapist follows the person's lead and creates space to talk about feelings, relationships and life changes. This approach can help when people feel stuck, anxious, unsure about identity or struggling with low mood.

Creative expressive methods can be used alongside client-centred work. Options such as writing, drawing, music or movement help people put feelings into a different form when words are not enough. These are optional tools chosen to support a person’s goals and comfort level.

Finding the right way to work is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches and adjust based on what the client finds helpful. This collaborative style aims to match the method to the person’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single technique.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video sessions let people see facial cues and build rapport. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or not being on camera helps. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping the focus on progress and accessibility.
