Sebastien is my first therapist that i had been provided by Betterhelp. Without a doubt i can vouch for this amazing man. He is able to dismantle my problems and my mindset. Thus creation an understanding of what is fundamentaly at its core going on in my mind during my episodes. Providing me that clear vision of the situation gives me the possibility of pushing the right buttons and making me move in the right direction during said episodes. This man has trully been a blessing in my life. May good things happen to you always Sebastien. Cheers!

I am a degree-qualified psychologist with a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapy. With over a decade of experience in mental health, I have worked with clients from all walks of life, supporting them through a wide range of challenges.
What Sets Me Apart
My approach combines the depth of my clinical expertise with a holistic and forward-thinking perspective. While deeply rooted in the person-centred approach, I incorporate an integrative blend of techniques, including:
• Humanistic Therapy
• Parts Work (Internal Family Systems)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Transpersonal Psychology
• Mindfulness Practices
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
This diversity allows me to tailor our sessions to your unique needs, offering a flexible and personalised pathway to healing and growth.
Connection at the Heart of Healing
I believe that meaningful change begins with connection. Together, we will form a strong therapeutic alliance where you feel supported, heard, and understood. Our collaboration will be built on trust, compassion, and the shared goal of creating lasting, meaningful transformations in your life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Sebastian helped me through a transition in my life. I am very grateful for his empathy and expertise.
Sebastien is absolutely amazing at what he does! He has helped me learn some amazing techniques and helped me make some massive breakthroughs. I would highly recommend him
Finding a therapist like Sebastien has been an absolute godsend. Not only is he highly skilled at what he does, but he is also a kind, patient, and overall fantastic human being. He immediately creates a safe space where vulnerability is respected, and his brilliant sense of humor helps lighten the mood and make therapy sessions something to look forward to. He has an extensive arsenal of tools to offer, and his depth of knowledge and experience make his suggestions seem intuitive. If you trust the process and put in the work, you will see improvements. Although I'm happy to have experienced improvements so quickly, it's bittersweet saying goodbye to therapy with Sebastien for now. I have no doubt that anybody who chooses him as their therapist will be in excellent hands.
Sebastien is great at listening and articulating my own thoughts into words that I understand which has helped me transform my mindset! Thanks Seb!
Sebastien has showed empathy when I expressed how I had been feeling and when he shared mechanisms to help me cope with my anxiety and general low mood. Sebastien helped me feel a little less alone and validated how I had been feeling. He made all of our chats feel very informal and generally felt as we were talking it out. I can’t thank him enough for all he has done. If it wasn’t for him I would be in a totally different place right now
Not intimidating.
So far I have had a good experience, but I haven't yet had a session so I cannot fully say at this point.
Sebastien always listens to me and understands what I am saying. He validates my every feeling and thought. He doesn't tell me I am wrong or disagrees. He doesn't tell me what to do, instead he arms me with resources, exercises and challenges to make these changes myself. To prove I am capable. He really is giving me the ability to change my life and my relationships with everyone within it.
