Sean Wallis

Sean Wallis is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. He draws on four years of integrative therapy training that includes person-centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour - and psychodynamic approaches to understand patterns rooted in past experience.

His practice is relationship-focused, prioritising a safe and trusting space where clients can move at their own pace. Sean has worked in a variety of settings including therapeutic children’s homes, specialist provision schools, a local college, and a suicide prevention charity. These roles have shaped a responsive, relational way of working, and he also supports and trains others entering the therapeutic field.

Much of Sean’s clinical work attends to attachment and trauma-related issues, while also supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, addictions, LGBT matters, family and parenting challenges, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career questions and coping with life changes. He is a gay, non-religious male therapist who describes himself as liberal.

To reduce uncertainty about starting therapy, Sean offers the option of a shorter initial check-in session so people can explore how therapy might work for them. The first formal session typically focuses on laying foundations for a collaborative therapeutic relationship, and he aims to work in ways that honour each client’s unique story and needs.
