About Selim
Selim Guzel is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and issues with self-esteem. He also supports people facing social anxiety and phobia and a range of culture-related worries.
Selim uses a person-centred approach as the foundation of his work. That means sessions focus on listening carefully, reflecting what matters and helping people find their own way forward. He draws on wider humanistic and psychodynamic ideas and sometimes uses creative methods when words alone do not feel enough.
He offers culturally sensitive care informed by his own multicultural background. He pays attention to how identity, migration and experiences of prejudice can affect self-worth and relationships. This makes him attuned to issues such as isolation, belonging and fatherhood concerns.
Creative tools are available when helpful. These can include music and lyrics, storytelling and writing, drawing or movement and spoken-word exercises. Selim treats these as optional ways to express feeling rather than art lessons.
Sessions are conversational and non-directive. He aims to respect each person’s autonomy and to avoid a one-size-fits-all stance. Conversations look at current struggles and what a person wants to change, grow through or understand better.
For people thinking about starting, Selim accepts international clients and works in English. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How his person-centred and creative approaches work online
Selim bases his work in Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises listening, reflection and support for a person’s own choices. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort out worries about social situations, relationships or low self-worth. He also draws on wider humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns and meaning that affect daily life.He offers creative options such as storytelling, music, drawing and movement as supplementary ways to express feelings. These tools can help when words feel limited or when exploring identity and cultural experience is important.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on listening, explore repetitive patterns, or bring in creative exercises.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the exact options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time and select quieter surroundings. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can make shorter check-ins easier, while video sessions allow for more expressive work such as guided movement or drawing when both people opt for it.
