About Seba
Counsellor and NCPS member Seba Thomson has worked in UK practice for 10 years. She sees people for issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, depression, addictions, relationships, sleeping problems, anger, self esteem, coping with life changes and ADHD.
Seba draws on psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches and blends them in a relational way. She describes this as an integrative style that adapts to each person. That can mean talking through patterns from the past, noticing thoughts and behaviours in the moment, and using practical coaching or psychoeducation where helpful.
Her background includes work with a women's charity in a perinatal team. That role involved pregnancy, postnatal depression, loss of baby, birth trauma and early parenting issues. She also works with neurodivergent people and has a focus on ADHD and autism concerns.
She is an accredited registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - NCPS. She also completed a postgraduate qualification in clinical supervision in 2021 and supervises other therapists.
Seba reports that many people come to her before or after diagnostic assessments for ADHD and autism to make sense of findings and plan next steps. In sessions she aims to be responsive, to validate what someone brings and to work through practical ways to manage symptoms, relationships and day-to-day demands.
Practical matters such as fees, session length and how to book are handled through the site. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps when someone notices repeated problems in close relationships or feels stuck by old ways of relating.Client-centred work focuses on what the person brings to sessions. The counsellor listens and follows the client’s pace, which can be useful for building understanding and self-awareness around issues such as low self esteem or grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Seba will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as needed. That might mean using psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns, CBT techniques to alter unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, or motivational interviewing for change-focused work.
Check the booking pages to confirm which session formats she currently offers before you book. The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting meetings around work or family time, reducing travel, and choosing quieter surroundings that suit the person. Some formats need less bandwidth or work better without video, which can help when someone prefers a shorter check-in or an audio-only conversation.
