About Selamawit
Selamawit Zere meets people where they are and helps them take the next step. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, or who are coping with loss, anger or the effects of trauma and abuse. Selamawit works in English, Amharic and Tigrinya and draws on three years of professional practice in the UK.
She holds BACP as a listed credential. Her approach starts from the view that each person knows their story best.
Background and approach
She aims to build a straightforward, respectful space to talk through what is causing strain. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and on small changes that can make life feel steadier. Day-to-day work often includes talking about relationships and communication problems.
Selamawit also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, body image struggles, guilt, shame, loneliness, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress. She pays attention to how these issues affect daily routines and relationships. When grief or loss is the focus, she helps people process what has happened and find ways to carry on.
For trauma and abuse, the emphasis is on moving at a pace the person is comfortable with and developing coping strategies that help in the here-and-now. Her sessions are collaborative and practical. She helps people set achievable goals and checks progress together.

How Selamawit works online
Another area of focus is trauma-informed work that moves at the person’s pace. That involves building safety, naming what happened, and developing coping strategies to lessen flashbacks and distress in everyday life. This work aims to strengthen a person’s ability to function week to week rather than make big promises about outcomes.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the person to choose which techniques fit their needs, goals and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into busy days and keeping check-ins brief when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helps maintain continuity of care and makes it easier to attend sessions around work, family or travel commitments.
