Selina Wigmore uses a psychodynamic approach to help people understand how past experiences shape current patterns. She aims to create a calm space where clients feel heard and able to talk about what matters to them. Selina focuses on helping people move from merely getting by to living with more purpose and connection.

Her work often looks at repeated relationship and emotional patterns. By tracing how early experiences influence present reactions, she helps people spot unhelpful cycles.

Background and approach

Once a pattern is noticed, sessions focus on ways to try different choices and responses. Selina pays attention to self-esteem and identity. She guides people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and intimacy concerns.

She also supports those facing parenting challenges, career uncertainty and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment fears, attachment issues, codependency, eating and dissociation concerns, and feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame. She also helps with communication problems, jealousy and relationship commitment questions.

Selina is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged in formats that suit each person. The therapy process aims to help people form a clearer sense of self and to take practical steps toward change.

Psychodynamic insights and online therapy options

Psychodynamic Therapy aims to link past experiences to present feelings and actions. It helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships and everyday life, and then try different ways of responding. This approach can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression, grief, intimacy concerns and long-standing relationship patterns.

In the online setting, the therapist works with clients to figure out which ways of working suit them best. That choice is collaborative and guided by a person’s needs, goals and preferences. The therapist will discuss how sessions will be structured and what to focus on as therapy unfolds.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face contact while fitting sessions around work or family schedules. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible ways to reflect between sessions or when writing helps process feelings.

These options make therapy more adaptable to busy lives and different communication styles, while allowing therapists to use psychodynamic ideas to explore patterns and support practical change.
