Sebastien Black (he/they) — EMDR Therapist | Complex Trauma | Somatic Counselling | LGBTQ+/GSRD-affirmative (NCPS Accredited)
About the Therapist
My name is Sebastien Black (he/they), a queer, integrative therapist working online with clients across the UK and internationally. My practice is grounded in care, curiosity, and consent.
I’m a queer, integrative therapist (he/they) working online across the UK and internationally, with in-person sessions in Bristol one day a week. My practice is grounded in care, curiosity and consent, offering an inclusive, non-judgemental space for adults navigating trauma, identity, attachment wounds, emotional overwhelm and relationship diversity.
Alongside individual therapy, I offer affirming couples counselling, helping partners deepen trust, improve communication, and explore sexuality with compassion and respect.
I have delivered over 6000 hours of personal therapy to people within a diverse and wide range of backgrounds and communities. I would love to welcome anyone else from my communities of: EMO, kink, sex positive, LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse peoples, into the world of EMDR, ACT and the other Psychotherapeutic specialises that I have been trained in.
