I've been working with Sebastien Black for over a year now as he helps me heal from Narcissistic abuse. I find his approach to be helpful, empathetic and compassionate. He provides me with tools to help me process my feelings and how to be in touch with my true self. More...

I've been through tough mental situations brought on by my own insecurities and fears, I've had many ups and downs as I'm sure everyone has. Sebastian has helped me see these fears for what they really are which gives me more power over them. It's hard to describe exactly what he does for you but no matter what the situation Sebastian has always managed to help me see things for the better, so thank you for that! More...

As a South African navigating the challenging terrain of find a therapist in my own country, finding Sebastien, at Humanistic Counselling (online rather than in person) was nothing short of a miracle. He is a great therapist and kind soul. More...

The first therapist, and one of the very few people that have actually listened to me and provided me with genuine help and support. Genuinely heart-warming guy!
Lydia D
Without a doubt i can vouch for this amazing man. He is able to dismantle my problems and my mindset.
Thus creation an understanding of what is fundamental at its core going on in my mind during my episodes.
Providing me that clear vision of the situation gives me the possibility of pushing the right buttons and making me move in the right direction during said episodes.
This man has trully been a blessing in my life. May good things happen to you always Sebastien. Cheers!

Sebastien always listens to me and understands what I am saying.
He validates my every feeling and thought. He doesn't tell me I am wrong or disagrees.
He doesn't tell me what to do, instead he arms me with resources, exercises and challenges to make these changes myself.
To prove I am capable. He really is giving me the ability to change my life and my relationships with everyone within it.

What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about being a coach and counsellor is the opportunity to make meaningful connections and guide individuals on their journey toward self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. Being able to witness positive transformations in clients, seeing them overcome challenges, and gain confidence in themselves is incredibly rewarding. Each day is unique, filled with stories of resilience and the privilege of supporting people through pivotal moments in their lives.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Growing up, I was the kind of person that friends and even strangers seemed to open up to. I was always fascinated by people’s stories—what shaped them, what challenged them, and what brought them happiness. My curiosity about the human mind and relationships began at a young age, as I often found myself observing how people interacted, expressed their emotions, and overcame difficulties.
In my teenage years, I was involved in volunteer work at community centres and support groups, where I learned firsthand the power of listening and empathy. Those experiences had a lasting impact on me; they showed me that while we all face challenges, having someone who believes in us and can offer guidance makes all the difference.
During university, I pursued studies that allowed me to deepen my understanding of human behaviour, counselling, and personal development. I worked part-time as a peer mentor and later as an assistant at a local counselling centre, where I witnessed the profound effect of compassionate and tailored support. These roles confirmed my belief that I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others.
Life wasn’t without its personal challenges either. There were times when I had to seek help, face uncertainties, and rebuild my own confidence. Those experiences gave me invaluable insight into what it feels like to be on the other side of the counselling relationship and strengthened my resolve to create a space that was truly supportive and non-judgemental.
These early experiences, combined with my professional journey, inspired me to start my own practice. I wanted to bring together all the lessons I had learned, both personally and professionally, into a service where clients could find genuine understanding and guidance.
