Background and approach
Her style is direct but warm, aiming to make conversations feel manageable for someone who is worried or exhausted. With three years of professional experience, Selamawit has worked with a range of common mental health challenges. She helps people facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, attachment issues and feelings of isolation or shame.
She also supports those dealing with body image, sexuality and women’s issues. Selamawit is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is listed to show her professional standing in the UK.
Sessions are offered in multiple formats to suit different needs and schedules. In her approach Selamawit focuses on clear goals and small, realistic changes. She will work alongside a client to identify what matters most and to find steps that fit daily life.
The aim is to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase confidence in handling problems. People who choose Selamawit can expect straightforward practical work alongside space to talk about painful experiences. Her sessions aim to balance coping tools with understanding the roots of difficult feelings.
How therapeutic approaches meet online care
Selamawit uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach focuses on learning skills to manage anxiety and panic attacks, such as breathing and grounding exercises and brief behavioural steps to reduce avoidance. These techniques help when worry or panic make daily life hard.A second strand centres on processing trauma and loss in a paced way. This involves talking through difficult memories at a manageable speed, identifying how those experiences affect current thoughts and behaviours, and trying small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. This helps people reduce the hold of painful memories and regain a sense of control.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will work with the client to clarify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative process helps find what works best for each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
