About Selim

Selim Guzel offers a person-centred approach that aims to put the client's experience at the centre of therapy. He works in a warm, non-directive way that focuses on respect, empathy and supporting a person's own choices. Selim's style is gentle and collaborative, and he often uses creative expression when words do not feel enough.

He has three years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which shapes his professional practice in the United Kingdom. Selim draws on a humanistic person-centred foundation while integrating themes from existential, Gestalt and psychodynamic thinking. This blend allows him to adapt sessions to the individual's needs rather than using a single method.

Selim pays particular attention to cultural background and the challenges that come with navigating identity and belonging. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns and family-of-origin issues. He also offers support around isolation and loneliness, immigration-related worries, and struggles with guilt or shame.

Creative methods are available as optional tools. These include music and lyrics, storytelling and writing, drawing and painting, movement and poetry. They are used simply to help people express feelings when talking alone is difficult.

Sessions are framed around the client’s goals. Selim aims to build a therapeutic alliance that respects autonomy and promotes self-understanding, whether someone seeks short-term relief or longer exploration of life purpose and identity.

How person-centred and creative approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. The therapist aims to offer empathy and genuine regard so clients can reflect on their feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, relationship worries and feelings of emptiness.

Selim also integrates humanistic and existential ideas, which invite reflection on meaning, identity and belonging. These perspectives can help when life purpose, cultural identity or isolation feel difficult to manage. He may offer creative exercises such as storytelling, music or drawing to help express things that are hard to say.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and comfort level. This is a shared process and can change over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow people to meet from different locations. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. The focus is on practical ways to make therapy usable alongside daily commitments rather than promising any particular service.
