Seba Thomson - Psychodynamic & CBT counsellor specialising with neurodiversity and couples counselling
I have been a qualified counsellor for 10 years, and work with couples and individuals. Clients usually come to see me either pre or post diagnosis of Autism, ADHD and AuADHD. My initial training was Psychodynamic with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy however my approach is now integrative (a mix of modalities, relational, client centred and neurodivergent-affirming).
I have a keen interest in horses and volunteer for the British Horse Society after losing my horse last year. I like to walk (with dogs if I am sitting one), practice yoga, enjoy the arts, music gigs, festivals, comedy, plays, film and art galleries, enjoy a pub quiz and long walks with a dog.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, non-judgemental, focused on you understanding yourselves, your nervous system and not ‘fixing’ you; I encourage clients to feel safe, validated, empowered and confident. This can be assisting clients to build sensory profiles and diets, improve executive function and emotional regulation. It might be working towards understanding and self-awareness, developing strategies to enable advocating for self and develop skills to support social interactions, communication and understanding. It can be working through your childhood and/or the impact of various traumas.
Through training and experience I have developed a trauma-informed practice. I support individuals, couples and parents to help Neurodivergent family members. I use the Developmental Model in my couples work with or without a Neurodivergent lens.
In a charity for women, I was a psychotherapist in the Perinatal team (2023 – 2025), I worked with pregnant women and women with babies under 1 year. Supporting clients with birth trauma, baby loss, post-natal depression, anxiety depression and Neurodivergence. Hormonal related Neurodivergence in menopause and PMDD has been an area I have worked on to.
Counsellors and therapists come to me for supervision, to explore and discuss their client work, ethics and support for their development. I attend my own supervision and run peer supervision and reflective practice groups for couples’ counsellors, therapists, ADHD therapists and supervisors.
Della Taylor-
NCPS Accredited Person-Centred Counsellor
Specialising in SEMH, Cancer Support, and General Wellbeing
About Me:
"The most important factor in healing is being truly heard."
I am a Person-Centred counsellor with a professional background shaped by 16 years in the education sector, specifically supporting children and young people with SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) needs. My experience also extends to Cancer Support Yorkshire, where I have provided a compassionate anchor for individuals and families navigating the complexities of a diagnosis.
I can offer counselling to adults and young people on an open ended basis.
How I Work
My approach is grounded in empathy, warmth, and a total lack of judgment. I don’t aim to "fix" you; instead, I believe you are the expert on your own life. I offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore your feelings at your own pace.
I have a wealth of experience working with children and adolescents.
I have worked in schools for over fifteen years. This includes working in both primary and a secondary schools.
I have worked with SEND children and have many years of experience helping children with differences to navigate through the education system and through their social difficulties and academic barriers.
I have experience of working with Adverse Childhood Experiences and trauma.
I currently support children with Social, Emotional Mental Health issues in a large secondary school.
Areas of Support
While I have deep roots in school-based support and cancer care, I work with adults and young people on a wide range of life challenges, including:
-
Anxiety & Depression: Navigating the weight of low mood and stress.
-
Cancer Journeys: Support for patients, survivors, and loved ones.
-
Education & SEMH: Helping young people find their voice and build resilience.
-
Grief & Loss: Processing bereavement or significant life transitions.
-
Self-Esteem: Moving through feelings of being "stuck" or unheard.
I'm also a qualified personal trainer and take fitness and well-being seriously.
A healthy mind and a healthy body work together for optimum wellness.
Sometimes the pressures of life can build up and take over our thoughts.
If you feel life is becoming overwhelming and you are struggling with your emotions, then I can provide a safe place for you to be heard. I will listen to you without judgement and together, we can work towards a more harmonious outcome for you.
