About me
I am Selina Speight, a person- centred, neuro-affirming counsellor at Recenter counselling. I believe firmly that you are the expert in your own world. I do not come to the sessions to fix you,label you, or tell you how to live your life. I offer a space for you to be yourself.
Are you constantly masking your true self, living with chronic anxiety, or feeling completely burnt out by a world that doesn't feel built for how your brain works?
Perhaps you are an autistic or ADHD adult trying to navigate daily life, someone carrying a constant knot of anxiety, or an SEN parent giving everything to your family while leaving nothing for yourself. You might feel perpetually overwhelmed, exhausted by life transitions, or like you are constantly falling short.
If this sounds familiar, please know that you don't have to carry this alone
Instead, I offer a warm, safe, and entirely confidential online space where you can drop the mask, step out of the chaos, and simply exist exactly as you are.
While you guide our pace and focus, my practice is deeply informed by both my professional background and my own lived experiences:
A Neuro-Affirming Companion: As a professional with dyslexia and an experienced SEN parent, I understand the unique, daily realities of neurodivergent minds and households. You won’t have to spend your energy explaining your neurodivergence to me; I am here to walk alongside you with genuine understanding.
Gentle Anxiety & Burnout Support: Providing a non-judgmental environment where you can explore overwhelming anxiety, the toll of constant masking, or the heavy weight of caregiver burnout.
30+ Years of NHS Experience: Bringing a grounded, deeply compassionate understanding of complex life challenges and caregiving stress.
Together, we will work collaboratively to help you reconnect with your own inner resources and regain your sense of autonomy.
Your Next Steps
Reaching out can feel daunting, so I keep the process completely pressure-free:
Free 20-Minute Intro Call: A gentle opportunity for us to connect, see how it feels to speak with each other, and decide if I am the right person to support you.
Flexible Online Sessions: If you choose to move forward, we can arrange weekly 50-minute sessions via telephone or secure online video.

Further information
As a person-centred counsellor, I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and change when met with empathy, acceptance, and understanding. I will work alongside you, helping you to explore your experiences in a way that feels safe, supportive, and meaningful.
I have particular experience working with neurodivergent clients, including autistic individuals and those with ADHD, as well as people experiencing anxiety. I understand that neurodivergence can shape how we experience relationships, emotions, work, education, and daily life. Together, we can explore these experiences in a way that honours your individuality and strengths, without judgement or pressure to fit into someone else's expectations.
I currently offer counselling online via Zoom and by telephone. If you would like to find out more about how we might work together, please feel free to contact me by phone or email for an initial conversation.
