Selim Guzel, BACP

Selim Guzel offers a warm, person-centred way of working that focuses on the individual. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to build an accepting space where people can talk about what matters to them. Selim aims to respect each person's autonomy and to listen without judgement.

He has three years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. His background includes a Master of Science degree, and he brings creative methods into sessions when helpful. Creative options might include music and lyrics, storytelling, drawing, movement or poetry to help express feelings that are hard to put into words.

Selim pays attention to cultural context and the challenges of belonging. He notes how cross-cultural pressures can affect identity and self-worth, and he works sensitively around those issues. Typical concerns he supports people with include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and self-esteem.

His style is gentle and non-directive. Sessions aim to be collaborative so people feel empowered to make their own choices. The therapist avoids one-size-fits-all solutions and prefers to adapt to each person's needs.

Creative tools are always optional and used to deepen expression rather than to produce finished work. People come to him for a range of aims – finding clearer self-understanding, processing loss, or simply needing an empathetic listener while they figure things out.

How client-centred work adapts to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and on supporting the client's own choices. This approach helps when people are dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship questions or the experience of feeling disconnected from themselves. The emphasis is on empathy, acceptance and allowing people to lead the pace and topics in session.

Selim also uses creative methods as an optional part of therapy, such as writing, music, drawing or movement to help express feelings words cannot easily capture. These tools are offered when they suit a client and can help with grief, identity questions and processing difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods together with the client. This collaborative process aims to match the style of therapy to what the person needs and wants.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and fewer travel demands. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, arrange sessions around work breaks and avoid commuting. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly.
