About Sebastien
Sebastien Black is a counsellor who uses a mix of practical therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. Sebastien works in the United Kingdom and brings five years of clinical experience to sessions. They hold NCPS as a credential and speak English.
Sebastien focuses on helping people who are dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy and communication. They also support those facing career stress, sleeping problems, anger and the strain of caregiving.
Background and approach
Sessions often include straightforward tools to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. In practice Sebastien draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred methods. That means sessions balance practical strategies with space to be heard and understood.
The work looks at values and small changes that make daily life more manageable. People can expect a calm, collaborative style where the counsellor listens first and then suggests ways forward. Sebastien pays attention to patterns such as attachment, codependency and avoidance, and helps people notice how these affect relationships and choices.
For those unsure where to begin, Sebastien offers a clear route into therapy and talks about realistic steps. Sessions are aimed at short-term coping as well as longer-term change, according to what each person wants to work on.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It is practical and goal‑oriented, often used for anxiety, low mood and sleeping difficulties.
Client-Centred Therapy creates a space where the person is heard without judgement and can explore feelings at their own pace. This approach supports people dealing with intimacy, self‑esteem and relational patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sebastien will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those aims. The process is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging can suit ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to continue work when circumstances shift.
