Person-Centred Care and Online Support
Selena works from a Client-Centred Therapy approach, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own perspective guides the work. This approach helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, relationship challenges, identity questions and emotional reactions by valuing their experience and encouraging self-directed growth. It emphasises active listening, unconditional positive regard, and helping clients find their own solutions rather than prescribing fixes.
Selena applies these person-centred values in collaboration with each client - together they explore which ways of working feel most helpful and set goals that reflect the client’s needs, preferences and pace. This collaborative process supports clients to try different strategies and shape the therapeutic direction as understanding deepens.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for appointments around work, study or family life. These options make it easier to access regular support from a registered professional without geographic constraints, and they allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
