About Sean Wallis
Sean Wallis is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. He blends established theories and hands-on practice to create a flexible, relationship-focused approach that prioritises the therapeutic connection as the core vehicle for change.
His training includes four years of integrative therapy study, drawing on person-centred methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic ideas. This mixed foundation enables him to adapt sessions to each person’s needs, selecting techniques and pathways that feel most supportive and relevant.
Sean has worked in a range of settings, including therapeutic children’s homes, specialist provision schools, a local college, and a suicide prevention charity. Those roles have informed a responsive, relational style of practice, and he also supports and trains others entering the therapeutic field.
Much of his clinical focus is on attachment and trauma, and he often offers a shorter initial check-in session to help people explore what therapy might look like and to see whether it feels like a good fit. Early sessions typically concentrate on building a collaborative foundation and moving at a pace that respects each person’s story and preferences.
He holds the BACP credential, which is a professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Sean welcomes enquiries from people seeking support with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, addictions, LGBT issues, family and grief matters, intimacy, sleep, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar and depression, and other life changes.

Attachment-informed and Integrative Online Therapy
Sean draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, helping people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, or relational difficulties to understand and reshape those dynamics. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the person at the centre of the work, offering empathic listening and nonjudgmental support that helps clients feel heard and seen as they navigate stress, grief, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and stress.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sean works collaboratively with each person to decide what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He will adapt techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy with Sean can be delivered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access registered professionals from wherever you are in the United Kingdom, while allowing sessions to fit into daily life more readily.
