Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on the things people can do between meetings. Her approach is collaborative. Selina listens first, then helps people set clear goals.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person’s needs and preferences. Clients may explore attachment and abandonment worries, codependency and communication problems. She also supports people facing divorce, blended family challenges, fatherhood issues, and feelings of emptiness.
Selina addresses control and dependent personality concerns, commitment worries and forgiveness work. People can expect a calm, down-to-earth style that aims to make conversations easier to manage. Selina guides people toward practical coping strategies while recognising the emotional work involved.
Her aim is to help people regain steadiness and move forward at a pace that feels right.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Selina uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma and mood concerns. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and practical strategies to manage intrusive thoughts, panic or prolonged worry; it helps people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes that reduce distress. Another approach attends to attachment and relationship patterns, helping people understand how early bonds influence current reactions and improve communication and emotional closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Selina works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts techniques as therapy continues so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversations and deeper work. Phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need more flexible timing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
