Morven Cuthbertson

Founder & Clinical Lead

​

Sea Change Therapies grew out of my own experience of what therapy can make possible. I came to counselling through my own life’s challenges, and therapy gave me a space to be seen, understood, and supported in ways that changed the direction of my life. That experience eventually led me to train as a counsellor myself.

​

I qualified with a Postgraduate Diploma in Pluralistic Counselling from Abertay University, and I hold BACP Senior Accreditation as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist — a recognition of my long-standing commitment to ethical practice, ongoing development, and demonstrated excellence. I’m also a qualified clinical supervisor and EMDR practitioner.

​

But more than credentials, I understand what it’s like to sit in the therapy chair as a client — uncertain, vulnerable, hoping someone will truly “get me”. That experience shapes everything about how I work and how Sea Change has been built.

​

My practice focuses on neurodiversity, trauma, and LGBTQ+ identities. I understand these experiences professionally and personally — through my own neurodivergence and the lives of those I love. I know what it means to navigate systems that weren’t designed for difference, and how important it is to be met with compassion rather than judgement.

​

At Sea Change, my role is to hold the clinical direction of the service: supporting our therapists, ensuring ethical practice, and helping create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard. I’m committed to building a service that is accessible, ethical, and rooted in community — a place where therapy is something people can reach without fear, shame, or financial barriers.

​

This is the heart of Sea Change Therapies: a safe, collaborative, human space where people can explore what matters and move toward meaningful change.
