About Selena

Selena is an experienced Clinical Psychologist specialising in the treatment of complex and comorbid presentations, including PTSD/c-PTSD, OCD, autism, ADHD, and personality disorders. She places a strong emphasis on neurodivergence and trauma-informed care. Identifying gaps in her therapeutic work, Selena pursued advanced training in autism and ADHD assessment for children, adolescents, and adults. In addition to maintaining a small caseload of therapy clients, her current clinical practice focuses on the assessment of autism and ADHD across the lifespan. She is also actively exploring giftedness as another area of neurodiversity, challenging longstanding myths and misconceptions, and recognising the impairment that giftedness can sometimes present in day-to-day functioning.

Selena is deeply committed to neurodiversity-affirming practice, supporting individuals in unmasking and embracing their authentic selves rather than conforming to neurotypical expectations. She also focuses on helping people to recognise their trauma responses and increasing self-compassion. Selena actively engages in professional and peer supervision related to assessment, driven by her passion for improving diagnostic accuracy and access to affirming care.

Her therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, Imagery Rescripting, and Schema Therapy, all within a comprehensive psychodynamic framework. She places particular emphasis on attachment-based interventions, helping people feel safe in relationships, with therapy itself being a space for the co-regulation of the nervous system.

Currently Selena is currently a Team Leader and board-approved supervisor at Anima Health Network. She regularly contributes to professional development through talks, supervision, and collaborative learning with other mental health professionals.
