About Me

Dr Clive Selwyn - Holistic Counsellor

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

- Carl Rogers

I have discovered that my deepest gift to the world is to help others to heal their past wounds and traumas, and to create a life filled with meaning and purpose for myself and for my clients.

My Story

A family of four sitting on a couch. A woman and a man hold two young children, one toddler and one baby. The woman is on the left, the man is on the right. The toddler is on the woman's lap, smiling, and the baby is cradled in the man's arms. They are indoors, and cushions are on the couch behind them.

My work has shown me some of the places where I am wounded, and where my personality has developed as an intelligent strategy to survive. I have jumped into the fiery crucible of truth multiple times, looked my inner demons right in the face, and come out the other side to tell the tale. The result is a greater and greater realisation and relaxation into the very essence and nature of who I am. I don’t have to effort and fight all the time, now I can sometimes relax and just be, I have what it takes, I am enough.

The more awareness, understanding and compassion I have for myself, the less I suffer. The more connected I can be to my body, the more present I am with each moment. The more present I can be, the less I identify with my thoughts. This all creates more freedom in my life. Through this journey of healing and self-discovery, I have managed to positively transform many aspects of my life, especially my personal relationships - I am a husband to a wonderful wife and father to two beautiful boys.

Proud husband and father

Testimonials
