About me
Hi, Im Selina, a person centred counsellor in Leicestershire. I offer a calm, welcoming space where you can feel safe, heard, and truly yourself. With 32 years NHS experience, I bring warmth, deep understanding and a gentle approach- especially for those navigating anxiety, self- doubt, or neurodivergent experiences. Whatever your facing, you do not have to go through it alone- I am here to support you at your pace, in a way that feels right for you
I am a registered accredited member of the National Counselling Society and a registered BACP member( MBACP). I work within their ethical frameworks. I am fully insured and registered with the ICO and have an enhanced DBS; I can offer you telephone or online sessions , which will be held in a confidential space in the LE9 area—availability currently evenings/weekends.
I create a space where you are truly heard ,understood, and guided with compassion. No Judgment, no one-size-fits-all solutions, just a real space to breath, process, and find what works for you.
Together we"ll untangle the worry, quiet the overthinking and help you feel more at home in your mind.
You deserve calm, lets find it together
Start your journey of self understanding and realise your true potential today. Please contact if you have any questions and I will always answer within 48hrs
.
Our first FREE intro session will be for 20 minutes and is by telephone, where I encourage you to ask questions and to get a feel if counselling and working with me is the right option for you. "Top tip" prior to the call have a think about what you want to get out of counselling, personal objectives, time frames, write questions down and do not be afraid to ask. No question is a wrong question!
Person centered counselling, gives you a safe supportive space, to be yourself without Judgement. It helps you feel truly heard, builds self trust, and helps you to find your own forward with confidence. Through empathy and understanding, it nurtures person growth, healing and a stronger sense of self.

Further information
Life can be challenging and difficult, as your counsellor I would like to walk with you on your journey and by establishing a strong therapeutic relationship. Within a safe secure environment I believe allows you as client to explore and gain understanding. I am a qualified person centred counsellor, which means I will work with my clients in the here and now.
In a non judgemental way, offering empathy and by being transparent within our therapeutic relationship. I believe that everybody has the capacity for growth and change within their life.
Carl Rogers the founder of person centred counselling puts it well when he describes potatoes in his family cellar still striving to reach their potential by growing thin sprouts towards the distant window. Showing that even when the environment is not optimal growth can still occur, so if as a client you are met with a counsellor who offers you a safe reflective space.
Showing you empathy, transparency and a non judgemental attitude imagine the growth and potential that could be achieved. In case nobody ever told you: You are valuable, unique, and have the capacity to change and evolve, let this become your mantra. Start your journey today and awaken and grow, creating the ideal circumstances for you to live your life.
