I feel as though I got what I was looking for when starting therapy. I wanted someone who listens to me and to feel like I am being heard and my concerns are taken seriously whatever it might be. Sean comes across as honest and authentic, which I greatly appreciate.
More about Sean
- 5 years' experience
- Male
- NCPS
I am a fully qualified counsellor living and practising in the Scottish Borders, UK. My early studies in counselling and psychotherapy were integrative, combining person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. I completed my professional training on a psychodynamic course that focused on human relations and the connections we form with others, starting at birth and extending throughout our lifetimes.
My way of being and working with clients blends different aspects of my training: acceptance, empathy and openness encourage growth and self-healing; an awareness of our interactions shed light on past and present relationships. Nature and our place in the environment have always been deeply important to me, and I am happy to consider outdoor and walking therapy. I also have a long-standing interest in existentialism, believing that we all have the capacity to create meaning and find peace within ourselves, no matter how chaotic or painful life is.
Over the past five years, I have built up hundreds of hours in practice with clients of all ages and backgrounds, helping them come to terms with issues such as trauma, abuse, bereavement, relationship breakdown, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, isolation, body dysmorphia, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and sexual identity.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

It is good
Very nice
Sean is not only extremely knowledgeable and informative, but is also very caring and supportive. I have had 4-5 sessions with Sean, which have ended in laughs, reduced anxiety and feeling more hopeful in general.
Sean has been a phemominal support with pulling me through the darkness. Every session was different but Sean remained calm, warm, super understanding and non judgemental making me feel comfortable in all my sessions. I am so grateful to have matched with Sean and I hope anyone in need can find a great therapist like Sean. Thank you Sean and I wish you all the best!
