Seba Thomson helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief or big life changes. She is a counsellor with ten years' experience and holds NCPS, which recognises advanced training and standards. Seba writes simply and listens carefully to understand each person's situation.

Seba takes a relational and flexible approach. She blends attachment-focused ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking to suit the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Sessions often include practical strategies, gentle reflection on past patterns, and clear steps to try between meetings. She has worked in perinatal services, supporting women with pregnancy-related concerns, birth trauma and loss. That background informs how she approaches issues around parenting and early relationships.

Seba also has expertise around ADHD and Autism and helps people who are considering assessment or who need support after a diagnosis. Seba uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and to set realistic goals. She also offers supervision to other therapists and completed a postgraduate qualification in clinical supervision in 2021.

Seba aims to create a space where people feel heard and understood. She adapts pace and technique to each person's needs and explains options plainly. If someone needs support with relationships, sleep, low mood, addictions or self-esteem, she offers a straightforward and non-judgemental way of working.

How Seba combines approaches online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps when someone struggles with trust, abandonment feelings or connection to others. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's pace, which helps people feel understood and seen. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers clear, practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Seba discusses options with each person and adapts methods to match their goals and preferences. This collaborative way of deciding ensures sessions are practical and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can be useful for ongoing support between sessions or for people who find writing easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
