About Selena
Selena Zafar offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She introduces a friendly, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and set practical goals. Selena writes simply and listens closely to each person's priorities before planning the next steps.
She uses person-centred approaches that put the client at the heart of the work. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, at a pace that feels right for them.
Background and approach
Selena aims to help people build understanding of their thoughts, cope with grief, manage burnout and explore identity concerns. Her background includes a Master of Science degree and three years working in counselling roles. That mix of study and lived experience guides how she supports people, especially those navigating cultural and identity questions.
She draws on personal insight while keeping the client's own story central. Selena is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. She offers appointments in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients who can join remotely.
Sessions are held by video call, phone, live chat or message work to fit different needs. People come to Selena for help with relationships, self-esteem, addiction concerns, eating issues, parenting stresses, career decisions and trauma. She also supports those dealing with anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD and bereavement.
The work is collaborative and shaped by each person's goals.

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
Selena uses a clear, collaborative way of working. She will help clients define goals and check in about whether the sessions are helpful. Choosing the right approach is treated as a shared effort, with adjustments made as needs and priorities become clearer over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for visual connection and deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can work well for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel, and let people choose the format that suits their day-to-day life.
