Selena Zafar, BACP

Selena Zafar offers calm, non-judgemental support for people facing life transitions and emotional strain. She meets each person where they are and helps them work through concerns such as anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and relationship problems. Sessions are focused on the client’s priorities and move at a pace that feels right for them.

Selena uses a client-centred approach, which means she listens carefully and follows the client’s lead. In practice this looks like reflective conversation, gentle questioning and space to think through difficult feelings. She aims to build a warm, accepting atmosphere that helps people name and clarify what matters to them.

Her background includes a Master of Science degree and three years working in counselling. That personal and professional experience shapes how she supports people with identity and cultural issues. Selena identifies as biracial and brings awareness of multi-faith and multicultural family dynamics into her work when relevant.

She specialises in bereavement, race and sports psychology alongside broader concerns such as addiction, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties. She also lists aging and geriatric issues among areas she attends to, alongside common problems like depression and coping with life changes.

Selena is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally through the service.

How Client-Centred Therapy adapts to online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and trusting that the person knows their own life best. In practice the counsellor reflects feelings, asks open questions and follows the client’s lead to help clarify goals and decisions. This approach is useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship and identity issues.

Selena’s work emphasises a warm, non-directive stance that encourages people to explore grief, cultural identity and life transitions at their own pace. That collaborative tone means she will discuss what feels helpful and adjust sessions according to each person’s needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people connect across time zones, which supports international clients. The therapist will work with the client to decide how to structure sessions so they suit everyday life and therapeutic goals.
