Background and approach

Selim trained to a Masters level in psychotherapy and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has three years of experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and brings sensitivity to multicultural and immigration-related themes. Sessions can draw on creative activities when helpful, such as writing, music, drawing or movement.

These tools are optional and used to help express feelings that are hard to put into words. Selim adopts a non-directive, respectful stance that encourages clients to lead the pace and focus of work. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can explore family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

The process is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. If someone wants a listening ear while they work through difficult feelings, he offers steady support and practical conversation about next steps.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. The counsellor offers empathy, genuine regard and reflective listening while the client leads what to explore. This approach supports people facing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and questions about identity.

Selim also brings humanistic and existential perspectives into sessions. These perspectives concentrate on personal meaning, choice and how family history shapes current feelings. Together these ways of working help people clarify values, face difficult emotions and consider different ways of living.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Selim will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. He treats the process as a joint exploration and adjusts the pace, using creative activities if they feel helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit better into a short break. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, reflective writing and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel.
