About Seba

Seba Thomson is a psychotherapist registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has worked in private practice since 2016 and has around 10 years' experience supporting people through life changes, stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Seba also offers supervision to other therapists and has experience with perinatal issues including pregnancy, postnatal depression, birth trauma and baby loss.

Seba uses a relational, flexible way of working that draws on psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. She adapts her approach to match what a person needs, and can include psychoeducation and practical coaching alongside talking therapy. This means sessions often mix reflection on patterns with more practical coping tools.

She has a particular focus on ADHD and autism and takes a neuro-affirming stance when supporting people who are neurodivergent. People may come to Seba before or after a diagnostic assessment to talk through next steps, understand a diagnosis, or find strategies that fit day-to-day life.

Her background includes time with a women's charity in a perinatal team, working with pregnant people and those with babies under one year. That work informs her way of responding to pregnancy-related loss and parenting strain.

Seba's clinical training includes qualifications in psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, plus a postgraduate diploma in clinical supervision completed in 2021. She is a registered member of the NCPS and works from the United Kingdom.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people want to understand why they react strongly in close relationships or feel abandoned or disconnected. Client-centred therapy places attention on the person's own priorities and pace, offering space to be heard and to make sense of feelings without pressure. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and is useful for practical problems like anxiety, low mood or sleep difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Seba will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the mix of reflective and practical work as sessions progress.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as current options are not listed here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Pick the format that best fits schedules, technical bandwidth and whether a session needs to be a focused skills session or a longer reflective conversation.
