Selamawit Zere
Practical, person-centred support for stress and trauma
About Selamawit
Selamawit Zere offers calm, straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and the effects of trauma. She meets clients where they are and aims to make the first steps feel less daunting. Selamawit uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice what is working and what needs to change.
She focuses on common everyday problems such as relationship strain, anger and panic attacks. There is also attention to attachment worries, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness and sexuality.
Background and approach
Her approach aims to make difficult feelings more manageable rather than using technical language. Selamawit is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom.
That background informs a steady, person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s priorities central. In sessions she treats people as the expert of their own story and helps them draw on their strengths. Conversations are practical and paced to the person’s comfort.
Small steps and manageable goals are common parts of the work. Appointments are available through online formats, which can suit a range of schedules and needs. Her language skills include English, Amharic and Tigrinya, which can help people who prefer to speak in those languages.
Selamawit aims to make therapy understandable and useful. She supports people as they explore change, cope with loss and build clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic techniques and online support
Two common, evidence-based techniques are helpful alongside person-centred conversation. One approach focuses on grounding and coping skills to reduce intense anxiety and panic symptoms; it teaches simple breathing, grounding and pacing strategies that can be used during stressful moments. Another approach attends to trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people tell their story at a manageable pace, process difficult memories and build safer ways of relating to themselves and others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and choose methods together based on the person’s goals, history and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and adapt them if needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have fuller conversations and read visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to access regular therapy around daily life while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work with a registered or accredited professional.
