Holding the NCPS credential - a recognised professional qualification in psychotherapy - Sebastien works in English and draws on an integrative set of methods to tailor care to each person's needs.

Areas of focus include stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and body image, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, career and life changes, and caregiving stress. Additional attention is given to attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation, commitment and communication challenges, and feelings of emptiness.

Sebastien aims to create a thoughtfully personalised pathway for change, helping people develop skills and insights that support improved wellbeing and more fulfilling relationships. Sebastien is not currently accepting clients.

Integrative approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to meaningful actions while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where a focus on values can guide change.

Client-Centered Therapy centres the person's experience and seeks to create an empathic, nonjudgmental space in which clients can explore feelings and develop self-understanding. This approach can be helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and identity-related work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, supporting progress with depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sebastien works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance means therapy evolves as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can increase flexibility and access, allowing people to engage from home or between commitments. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
