Seba Thomson
Compassionate, adaptable therapy for stress and neurodiversity
About Seba
Seba Thomson helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and difficulties linked to ADHD and autism. She is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience and holds NCPS, which stands for the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She offers a direct, relational style that aims to be adaptable to each person.
Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and how past patterns affect current feelings and choices.
Background and approach
Practical strategies are used alongside reflective work so people leave with clearer ways to cope. Her background includes work in perinatal services supporting women through pregnancy, birth trauma, loss and postnatal depression. That experience informed how she supports parents and people adjusting to major life changes.
She has also worked with people affected by domestic violence and complex family problems. Seba uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on psychodynamic ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-aware thinking to respond to the needs of each person.
Motivational interviewing and client-centred ways of working are used when helpful. She also trained in clinical supervision and can offer reflective support to other therapists. Many people come because of her knowledge of ADHD and autism, either before assessment or after a diagnosis when they want help understanding next steps.
Seba aims to listen, validate and help people find practical routes forward.

How Seba's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses; it helps when feelings of abandonment, trust issues or struggles with close relationships are important. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and offers steady, non-judgemental listening that can help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is useful for anxiety, sleep problems and mood regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, and then work together to find the best mix of methods. That process is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different days and routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when full interaction is useful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is preferable. Text and live chat are helpful for ongoing support between longer sessions or for people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family duties and other commitments.
