Malin Sellden Psychological Therapy Service

I’m a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, Accredited EMDR and CBT Therapist based in the City of London and online.

I offer effective, evidence-based, individualised, psychological therapy and treat a number of mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety disorders and trauma in a safe and confidential space.

A holistic view to therapy

Trauma occurs when experiences overwhelm a person’s ability to cope, leaving them feeling unsafe, helpless, or deeply impacted emotionally, physically, or psychologically. Importantly, trauma isn’t always tied to a single catastrophic event; it can also result from ongoing stress or cumulative challenges that profoundly affect a person over time.

For example, trauma can arise from chronic stress, such as growing up in an environment where emotional or physical needs are unmet, or from repeated smaller-scale distress like bullying or persistent criticism. Systemic challenges, such as discrimination or oppression, and witnessing difficult events, like a loved one’s illness, can also leave lasting effects. Even prolonged uncertainty, such as financial instability, can trigger trauma responses.

Trauma is deeply personal—what feels traumatic to one person might not to another. What matters is how the experience impacts a person’s sense of safety and stability. Recognizing the varied forms of trauma helps validate these experiences and encourages seeking support.

The imprint of trauma often influences relationships, trust, communication, and emotional well-being. Unresolved trauma can underlie struggles like anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, low self-esteem, or depression. I take a holistic approach to therapy, exploring how life experiences shape each person and addressing these deep emotional wounds.

I believe no one is defined by a single symptom or diagnosis. Therapy offers a space to explore the layers of who we are, fostering growth, clarity, and self-compassion. By understanding how past experiences shape the present, individuals can break free from emotional cycles and begin living more fulfilling lives. Supporting this transformation is a privilege, and I’m here to guide that journey.

I also hold accredited status as an EMDR therapist with EMDR UK and Europe, and as a CBT therapist with the BABCP (British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies).

I have worked in the field of adult mental health and wellbeing for the past two decades including the NHS, community addiction and forensic settings and private practice, providing individual,  group work, teaching and supervision. My way of working is underpinned by person-centred principles with the therapeutic relationship at heart and I use a combination of therapeutic frameworks and evidence-based therapy models including CBT and Eye-Movement Desentisitation and Processing (EMDR). I have a special interest in trauma treatment, EMDR and the mind-body connection. I work with PTSD, complex and developmental trauma and have undertaken comprehensive training in the treatment of trauma.I use a collaborative and flexible approach to best suit individual needs.

Testimonials

Malin’s EMDR therapy literally changed my life! Her compassionate, non-judgemental and creative approach allowed me to feel safe and have the courage to feel, share and release thoughts and behaviours that were holding me back for so many years. I now feel lighter and assured that it’s ok to be my authentic self and trust in the future

Malin has been an incredible support since I first met her. I have found her guidance and personal style so warming and beneficial..

I'm really pleased how Malin has shifted my problems with EMDR and I'm now able to move on with my life.

I was introduced to Malin by referral from my Consultant Psychiatrist. I was battling anxiety which led to low self worth and negative thoughts. Malin was able to provide combative tools to dispel each negative thought. Armed with this advice I have regained my self esteem and built resilience. Through talking sessions I now am accepting of the past whilst moving confidently into my future.

Freedom...

...comes with accepting the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can and wisdom to know the difference. Therapy could be the first step on this journey.
