About Seba
Seba Thomson is a counsellor who helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, anger and low self-esteem. Seba works with adults who are exploring ADHD or autism-related issues and people seeking clarity around parenting or separation.
Seba trained in psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, and holds membership of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She also completed a postgraduate qualification in clinical supervision in 2021 and has around ten years' experience working in practice and as a supervisor to other therapists.
Seba uses a relational and flexible way of working that adapts to each person. That can include motivational interviewing to help build readiness for change, attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and client-centred listening and coaching to focus on practical next steps. She draws on psychoeducation and a mix of approaches to suit the individual rather than applying one fixed method.
Her previous roles include work in a women's charity perinatal team, supporting people through pregnancy, postnatal depression, birth trauma and baby loss. Many people come to Seba before or after neurodiversity assessment to understand or process an ADHD or autism diagnosis.
She aims to offer a validating space where people feel heard and understood. Prospective clients are invited to begin by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to arrange a first appointment.

How Seba’s approaches translate to online work
Seba often blends motivational interviewing with attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. Motivational interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change and build confidence to act. Attachment-based ideas explore how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections. Client-centred therapy prioritises listening, empathy and the person's agenda so sessions stay relevant to what matters now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Seba will discuss different methods with each person and together they will decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative discussion helps shape the session structure and priorities over time.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and conversations that focus on practical strategies, coaching and psychoeducation just as in face-to-face sessions. Confirm the precise formats available when you arrange your first session. -
