Sebastien Black, NCPS

Sebastien Black is a counsellor who blends several practical approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. They presents as calm and direct, aiming to make therapy feel simple and useful from the first session. Sebastien works in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential, which appears alongside five years of professional experience.

Sebastien draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts and make small behaviour changes. They also use client-centred and emotionally focused ways of working to prioritise understanding and strengthen emotional connection. Sessions tend to focus on what feels most pressing for the person in front of them rather than fixed protocols.

People bring a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem. Sebastien also lists work around intimacy, sexual identity and ADHD, plus related areas such as body image, attachment concerns and communication problems. The emphasis is practical - talk through what matters and try approaches that can be used between sessions.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location and availability. Sebastien works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules according to the therapist's availability.

With a straightforward manner, Sebastien aims to support people who need clear tools and steady support while they work through life changes, career strain or lingering emotional pain.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes because it focuses on what matters rather than trying to eliminate upsetting thoughts.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what they hear to help the person feel understood and then make choices that suit them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces small experiments and coping strategies. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sebastien will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This decision is collaborative and can change as the person notices what helps.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you are considering starting, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are arranged. Many people appreciate being able to schedule therapy around work and family commitments while keeping therapy focused on daily problems and change.
