She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and uses evidence-based techniques to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Her work aims to create a respectful space where people can explore feelings, rebuild connection, and develop coping strategies for long-term wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Selamawit uses practical, evidence-based techniques that help people manage symptoms and rebuild connection. One approach focuses on skills for stress and anxiety - teaching breathing and coping strategies, and helping to identify thought and behavior patterns that maintain distress. This kind of work is useful for panic, ongoing worry, and daily overwhelm.

She also offers trauma-informed and grief-focused support that helps people process painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable, working to reduce the impact of past events on current relationships and functioning. Additionally, relationship and attachment-focused work helps clients improve communication, set boundaries, and repair connection where needed.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Selamawit works with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These options make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
