About Sean
Sean Wallis is a BACP counsellor with five years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, addictions and anger among other concerns. He also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem, sleeping problems and major life changes.
Sean uses a relationship-focused way of working. He draws on client-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based thinking. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, with room to look at how past attachments shape current feelings and reactions.
His background includes work in therapeutic children’s homes, specialist schools, a local college and a suicide prevention charity. Those settings gave him experience with complex situations and with people under a lot of stress. He also spends time mentoring and training others entering the therapeutic field.
When someone first gets in touch Sean offers a shorter check-in session as an option. That can help decide what a full session might look like and make starting easier. The first full session usually focuses on setting out goals and a way of working together.
Sessions combine practical techniques with reflective conversation. Sean may use CBT-style exercises to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours alongside deeper work on attachment and meaning. He aims to adapt the approach to what a person needs while keeping sessions direct and straightforward.
How his approaches inform online sessions
Sean uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps when anger links to fear of abandonment, mistrust, or patterns learned in childhood.He also draws on client-centred principles, which means sessions focus on the person’s perspective and priorities. That encourages practical reflection and direct conversation about what is causing heat and tension in daily life.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) features as a hands-on way to spot thought patterns and habits that feed anger. CBT offers concrete exercises and small experiments to test new responses between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sean will discuss options with the client and decide together what feels most helpful for their goals. That may shift over time as issues become clearer.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions with practical CBT tasks and reflection exercises.
