Selina Wigmore, BACP

Selina Wigmore offers a psychodynamic approach that helps people make sense of repeating patterns and how past experiences affect the present. She aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and can begin to live more fully rather than merely existing. Selina uses gentle exploration to uncover themes that show up again and again in relationships and daily life.

Her work links earlier life events to current struggles so those patterns become clearer. Once patterns are noticed, she helps people try out different ways of responding. That practical shift can change how someone relates to others and to themselves.

Selina focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. Intimacy-related issues, relationship difficulties and communication problems are also within her remit.

She pays attention to attachment questions and feelings of emptiness, abandonment or guilt. She will also help with eating and dissociation issues when these link to deeper emotional patterns. Work on forgiveness, jealousy and commitment worries is offered too.

Selina is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and holds six years of clinical experience. Her style is reflective, steady and aimed at helping people build a clearer sense of self.

Psychodynamic work adapted for online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores how earlier relationships and experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people notice repeating patterns, understand where they come from and experiment with different ways of relating in daily life. This approach can be useful for anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and unresolved grief or trauma.

Sessions are collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what approach will best meet the client's needs. If psychodynamic work feels less suitable over time, alternative ways of working can be discussed and tried. The aim is to match the method to the person's goals and preferences, not to force a single route.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep visual contact and pick up on emotional cues. Phone sessions can be easier when someone has lower bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and those who find writing helps them reflect. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments.
