Selim Guzel

Selim Guzel is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues. Selim also addresses life purpose questions and matters related to fatherhood, family of origin and cultural identity. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

Selim draws mainly from Client-Centred Therapy, using a humanistic, person-centred stance alongside themes from existential and psychodynamic thinking. In practice this means conversations focus on what matters to the client, with space to reflect on values, meaning and difficult emotions. He may bring creative methods such as music, writing, drawing or movement when words feel limited.

Sessions tend to be non-directive rather than prescriptive. Selim emphasises respect for autonomy and works collaboratively to clarify goals. He pays attention to multicultural and immigration issues and how these shape identity, belonging and everyday pressures.

People often come to him feeling stuck after life changes, dealing with loneliness or struggling with guilt and shame. He also supports those coping with family problems, social anxiety and experiences of prejudice. Practical conversation, emotional exploration and optional creative tasks are woven into the work.

Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the See online therapy options button.

Client-centred and creative approaches for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what matters to the client. The counsellor offers non-directive support so the person can clarify values, feelings and next steps. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, relationship doubts and questions about life purpose.

Creative methods such as music, storytelling, drawing or movement may be introduced as optional ways to express emotion. These tools are used to help people find words for difficult experiences and to notice new perspectives when talking feels limited.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will explore goals, preferences and day-to-day constraints with the client and agree together how to proceed. This collaborative process helps shape session focus and whether creative tasks are included.
