About Selim
Selim Guzel uses a person-centred approach as the heart of his work. He focuses on listening with warmth and respect so people can feel understood. He aims to create a space where clients can explore difficult feelings at their own pace.
He helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. Additional focus areas include fatherhood issues, family of origin concerns, immigration-related difficulties and feelings of isolation.
Background and approach
Selim draws on humanistic person-centred ideas alongside themes from existential, Gestalt and psychodynamic thinking. This mix guides flexible conversations rather than rigid techniques. Creative methods are available when useful, such as music, writing, drawing or movement to help express feelings words do not capture.
Sessions are conversational and non-directive. He aims to respect each person’s autonomy and cultural background while exploring what matters to them. The tone is plain and steady, with an emphasis on building a trusting working relationship.
Selim holds an MSc and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has three years of clinical experience working with people from diverse backgrounds. International clients can be seen and sessions are conducted in English.

How Selim works online
He also blends humanistic person-centred ideas with existential, Gestalt and psychodynamic themes. Existential ideas can help when someone is questioning life purpose or meaning. Gestalt elements emphasise present-moment awareness and can be useful for registering bodily sensations and emotions during sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Selim will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful. This collaborative process takes into account a client's goals, background and preferences rather than assuming one method fits all.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy life and removing travel time so check-ins can be shorter when needed. Online work can also allow creative tools such as writing or drawing to be reflected on during a session. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to ensure the arrangements suit your needs.
