Working Together
Finding the right therapist is an important step, and it matters that you feel safe and supported. At Sea Change Therapies, you’ll be welcomed into a confidential, understanding space where you can talk freely and be heard without judgement.
​
Your counsellor will offer professional, compassionate support, helping you explore what’s going on for you at a pace that feels comfortable. We believe that therapy is built on trust and genuine connection — the foundation for meaningful insight, healing, and growth.
About Counselling at Sea Change
All counsellors at Sea Change Therapies are registered members of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). We are committed to ongoing professional development and work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework, ensuring that every client receives a safe, ethical, and high-quality service.

What to Expect
We understand that starting counselling can feel like a big step, and it’s natural to feel uncertain about what to expect. From your first contact with Sea Change, you can be assured of a professional, confidential, and supportive service.
​
Your sessions will be with a trainee therapist in their second or third year of an MSc in Counselling, working under regular supervision as part of their professional training. This means that, in addition to learning the theories and techniques of therapy, they are also engaged in significant personal development work - exploring their own experiences, becoming more self-aware, and understanding their own limitations. This depth of reflection helps them to build empathy, maintain clear boundaries, and work effectively to support meaningful change in their clients.
​
We offer a free initial 30-minute conversation, giving you a chance to ask questions, find out more about how counselling works, and decide if it feels right for you.
During this chat, we’ll take some brief information about you and explore what’s been happening in your life.
​
Our Approach
At Sea Change, we recognise that therapy is a deeply personal experience. We use a pluralistic approach, which means we believe there’s no single “right” way to do therapy - and that different people need different things at different times.
​
In pluralistic counselling, you are seen as the expert in your own life, even if you’re not feeling that way right now. Therapy becomes a collaborative process, where we work together to find approaches that best support your goals and values.
​
This approach reflects our belief in diversity, individuality, and respect -
acknowledging that each person’s experience is unique,
and that healing and growth happen in many different ways.
