About Me

I’m Sean,

I’m a therapist who helps make sense of emotions and experiences so you can move through life with clarity and connection. I work relationally, combining insight, compassion, and curiosity to untangle what’s stuck and support meaningful change.

One of my key strengths as a therapist is establishing the cause of what’s happening. I help bring clarity to your inner world, understanding patterns, defences, and behaviours that shape your experience. From this place of awareness, you gain greater agency: the ability to move differently, to choose consciously, and to meet yourself with honesty and care.

With over 30 years of experience across the voluntary, statutory, and commercial sectors, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life. My practice offers support for a range of experiences: from anxiety, depression, neurodiversity and stress to relationship challenges, family dynamics, and identity. I specialise in behavioural change, sexuality and identity, trauma, grief and loss.

At the heart of my approach is psychosynthesis and archetypal psychology — a holistic, integrative way of working that honours the whole self: past, present, and emerging. Whether exploring the known, the historical, or the not-yet-understood, I help navigate complexity, connect with deeper meaning, and move toward authentic change.

Therapy, for me, isn’t about fixing; it’s about understanding, evolving, and uncovering new possibilities. As a registered member of the BACP, I hold this work within a professional and ethical framework, ensuring an attuned, and grounded space for whatever needs to unfold.

My ethos

Sean Kelly Counselling and Therapy

I work in a soulful way, and soul can mean many things - shaped by our beliefs, experiences, and circumstances. I believe a soulful perspective can support the way we connect, with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.

At the heart of my approach is the belief that every person, group, and community is unique, and that uniqueness deserves to be seen and celebrated. Yet, there are times when we may feel disconnected from ourselves, each other, or the shared purpose that brings us together.

My work explores the connection between mind, body, and feelings - helping individuals, groups, and communities reconnect with themselves and each other. Through this, I support deeper self-awareness, more authentic relationships, and a greater sense of wholeness, both personally and collectively.

Whilst my practice is open to all, it is grounded in a deep respect for identity, belonging, and the soulfulness of each person’s journey. I work intentionally with individual and wider cultural context, recognising how systemic forces shape our lives, and how healing involves not just the self, but the stories we carry and the communities we move through.

Individual & Couples Therapy

I offer therapy for individuals and couples, tailored to your unique needs and the context of your life or relationship. Together, we’ll work to navigate challenges, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and create space for greater connection, meaning, and fulfilment.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or dynamics, or questions of identity, I work in a supportive and engaged way that encourages insight, agency, and lasting change.

I offer both short-term (6–24 sessions) and long-term (ongoing) work. Sessions are weekly and last 50 minutes for individuals and 60 minutes for couples. Sessions are available in person in London, Hastings & St Leonards, or online across the UK and abroad.

Group Therapy

Group therapy offers a powerful space to be seen, heard, and supported - a place where growth unfolds through shared experience.

Rooted in relational and creative approaches, I facilitate groups that support honest dialogue, emotional depth, and meaningful connection through the power of witnessing and being witnessed.

Short-term groups run weekly over 8–12 weeks, and focus on specific themes such as grief and loss, sexuality and identity, and trauma.

Long-term groups meet bi-weekly and provide a space for deeper, ongoing exploration - allowing multiple themes to emerge and evolve over time.

Group therapy is offered in-person and online.

Testimonials

  • “I came to therapy deeply depressed, cut off from myself and the world. Sean’s approach helped me feel safe enough to face what I’d been hiding for years. Through creative and embodied practices, I reconnected with my feelings and began living fully.”

  • "After a painful breakup, I felt completely lost and trapped in old patterns. From the very first session, Sean offered a compassionate space to explore the mess. With his guidance, I’ve rediscovered parts of myself I had buried. I now feel more whole, more grounded, and more me."

  • "For years, I lived according to other people’s expectations. Coming to therapy was terrifying, but transformative. Sean created a space where I could explore my queer, non-binary identity. Together we unpicked layers of shame and conditioning. Now, I’m discovering what it means to live authentically.”

  • "When I lost my life partner, I was shattered. Sean provided a space where my grief wasn’t rushed or minimised. He walked beside me through the darkness, allowing every feeling to be honoured. Slowly, I began to reconnect with life without betraying my love or loss."

  • "I arrived in therapy carrying trauma and anger I couldn’t speak about. With Sean, for the first time, I felt safe to confront it. He met me with unwavering compassion, even in the darkest places. The journey hasn’t been easy, but I’m learning to release shame and hold kindness for myself."

  • "Being in group therapy has been life changing. I came looking for connection and found a space where every part of me is welcomed. The group has become a rare community where vulnerability is met with understanding, and where I’ve grown in ways I never imagined."

 FAQs

    • I offer a sliding scale for individual therapy sessions ranging from £65 to £110, based on income and affordability. This approach allows therapy to remain accessible based on individual circumstances. A quarter of my practice is reserved for those on lower incomes, and I also partner with two charities to provide therapy to people who might otherwise not have access.

    • Couples therapy is offered on a sliding scale from £90 to £120 based on income and affordability.

    • For group therapy, the individual fee for each person attending is based on the size and length of the group.

  • Everything discussed in therapy is confidential, and I adhere to BACP's ethical framework. The only time I would break confidentiality is if I believe you may harm yourself or others, or I'm required to for legal reasons.

  • I offer both in-person and online sessions.

    In-person sessions are offered in London, Hastings and St Leonards.

    Online sessions are offered UK-wide and globally.
