Selwyn Warren Counsellor
Hello, I’m glad you’ve landed here. My name is Selwyn Warren and I am a recovery and intimacy counsellor.
I help people heal from trauma, overcome addiction, and build meaningful relationships.
Feeling disconnected or struggling to build healthy relationships because of past trauma? You’re not alone.
I provide a safe, compassionate space to explore your experiences, release old patterns, and cultivate connection—with yourself and others. I offer sessions online and in-person in Brighton and Hove.
“I have witnessed people develop and change their lives through committing to therapy and this has often rippled out to those around them creating better relationships and family dynamics.”

The Services I Offer
Meet Your Counsellor
I’m an Integrative Humanistic Counsellor with extensive training in intimacy, trauma, attachment, mindfulness, and somatic practices. I also draw on my own lived experience to deeply understand the challenges of healing from trauma and rebuilding intimacy.
I work with adults who:
- Struggle to trust or connect in relationships
- Feel stuck in relational or emotional patterns rooted in trauma
- Want to heal shame, codependency, or fear of vulnerability
My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and holistic, integrating relational therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and shadow work. Together, we’ll create a path toward healing, self-compassion, and meaningful connection.
Who Needs Counselling?
Counselling can help if you:
- Find it difficult to trust or feel safe in relationships
- Struggle with intimacy, closeness, or vulnerability
- Carry shame, fear, or self-doubt rooted in past trauma
- Feel trapped in cycles of codependency or unhealthy patterns
- Long for deeper connection—with yourself or with others
- Want to explore different relationship styles or ways of creating deeper intimacy
You don’t need to have all the answers. Counselling is a space to gently explore your experiences, build resilience, and move toward healing at your own pace.
