About Seba
Seba Thomson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges and related struggles. She works with individuals and couples, and brings a calm, listening approach to each session. She has practised in personal settings since 2016 and has ten years' experience.
Much of her earlier work was with a women's charity supporting people during pregnancy and the first year after birth. That background means she is familiar with birth trauma, pregnancy loss and postnatal depression.
Background and approach
Seba trained in psychodynamic approaches and in cognitive behavioural therapy, and she later developed a relational, flexible way of working. Her practice is described as neuro-affirmative and individualised, so she adapts methods to suit each person rather than using one fixed style.
She has an advanced credential from the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, and completed a postgraduate qualification in clinical supervision in 2021. She also supervises other therapists. Seba has particular experience with ADHD and autism and often supports people who are thinking about assessment or who are processing a recent diagnosis.
Her sessions can include psychoeducation and practical coaching alongside therapeutic work. People who want a therapist who listens, validates and helps them understand their experience may find her approach helpful. She aims to work collaboratively to identify manageable steps and clearer ways of coping.

How Seba adapts therapeutic approaches for online work
She commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. Attachment-based approaches focus on relationships and patterns formed early in life, helping people understand how past connections affect current feelings and reactions. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours, offering practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and improve sleep, mood and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Seba will discuss goals, preferences and prior experiences to decide what to try together. That collaborative process allows methods to shift over time as needs change and as the client notices what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people read facial cues and use shared exercises, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help fit therapy around busy days and different routines.
