About Sebastien
Sebastien Black is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, practical way of working. They combine Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and emotionally focused ideas to help people with anxiety and stress. Sebastien holds NCPS and practises from the United Kingdom.
They write plainly and focus on clear steps clients can use between sessions. Sebastien aims to make sessions feel straightforward and grounded. They listen to what matters most and help people notice unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Then they work together to try new responses that match the person’s values and goals. Sessions often include simple exercises and small behavioural experiments to test what works. They have five years of experience in mental health.
That background informs how Sebastien balances talking, practical tasks and reflective work. This helps when people are dealing with low mood, grief, anger, sleep problems or changes at work. Sebastien also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, identity concerns including LGBT matters, ADHD related challenges, and legacy trauma such as abuse or abandonment.
They pay attention to communication, boundary setting and managing emotions during difficult moments. Sessions can cover coping strategies, goal-focused coaching, and exploring underlying patterns like attachment or codependency. People are helped to build small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.
Sebastien prefers a collaborative style where the person sets priorities and the counsellor offers tools and clear feedback.
How approaches like ACT and CBT work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often include short mindfulness exercises and practical steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns that increase anxiety and trying alternative behaviours. In online CBT people commonly use worksheets and short experiments to test new responses during the week. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people express needs more clearly when talking with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods together. That collaborative process means techniques can shift over time as needs change and progress is made.
Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you work face to face from another location. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, quick coaching or when writing helps you process thoughts. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life while keeping sessions focused on practical change.
