About Selina
Selina Wigmore is a counsellor who uses a psychodynamic approach to help people recognise patterns that affect their lives. She focuses on helping people feel heard and supported so they can move from simply existing to living more fully. Selina aims to build a trusting working relationship where people can talk about what matters to them.
She links past experiences to present behaviour to spot repeating themes. Once these patterns are clearer, sessions focus on gently challenging them and trying different ways of responding.
Background and approach
This is practical work that looks at how old habits show up now and what to change. Selina pays attention to identity and self‑esteem. Conversations often explore how people see themselves and how that affects relationships, work and parenting.
She helps people build a stronger sense of who they are and what they want. People come to her with stress, anxiety, low mood and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, compassion fatigue and family problems.
Additional areas include attachment concerns, codependency, eating and food issues, and feelings of emptiness. With six years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Selina offers steady, reflective support. Sessions are available in English and held online using a range of formats to suit different needs.

Psychodynamic work online and what it looks like
Psychodynamic therapy explores how earlier relationships and events shape current feelings and behaviour. Sessions often help people spot repeating patterns, such as ways of relating or reacting, and understand where they come from. This approach can be useful for issues like low self‑esteem, intimacy problems, grief and recurring relationship difficulties.The therapist will help you decide what approach fits best. That happens together in the first sessions by talking about your needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can change as you learn more about what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different lives. Video calls recreate a face‑to‑face conversation and allow visual cues. Phone sessions work well when you prefer not to be on camera or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check‑ins, shorter sessions or people who find typing easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily errands, while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work rather than travel.
