Thank you so much Sean. Life's challenges are now easier for me to manage, and I feel there are more good days than there are bad days. See you in our next session.

Sean has been there for me, every step of the way. I have never had before this, so was quite unsure at the start. It has been easier with being able to have sessions in the evening, after work. Thanks for everything.

Philip Rigby
I have had problems with my mental health for as long as I can remember, and tried so many self-help strategies and talked with a lot of therapists. If I am honest with myself I almost gave up hope. On finding Sean I wasn't sure about online therapy, but what did I have to lose. Therapy this way has proven to be so convenient, amongst other benefits. Sean has helped me move forward in life, cope with situations, challenge my thoughts, and feel better about myself. We have steadily gone through my underlying issues, my past, and I feel much more confident with opening up about the way I feel. Sean has changed my life, and many thanks to him. More...

Concernedcounsellor
Despite positive reviews on this page, this counsellor is not on the BACP or BPS directory, meaning that he is not accountable to an established or well recognised counselling body. Enter counselling with him at your own risk. Also appears to be ominous claims of starting a PhD and a Masters at Kings college with no evidence that he is completing or is even registered on such a course. There are many red flags on his page regarding information shared and use of logos of organisations this man is not registered with. Do your own careful research before putting yourself in a vulnerable position. Counselling should be a safe and protected space, by counsellors registering with established bodies it ensures they are held accountable and their qualifications and experience are verified by professional bodies. More...
Reply from Sean Kyle - Independent Online Counsellor and Psychotherapist / Life Coach
Hello Concernedcounsellor, and thank you for taking the time to write your review. I am sorry to hear of your concern, and appreciate the reasons. I am compliant with the professional bodies, which I respect greatly, and abide by their policies and procedures...but I am an independent therapist. Over the past thirty years I have worked with individuals and organisations in the field of mental health, obtaining various qualifications with different bodies and still doing so, having independent supervision to the required number of hours and more, and ongoing regular supervision both face-to-face and online. I have not misled anyone, and I am here to help people...this is why I have not reported this review, or tried to hide it. Thank you.

I have recently returned to Sean for counseling sessions after a two-year 'break'. Sean made me feel at ease, was up to date with my notes from our previous sessions, and makes sure you get to talk through everything that is on your mind. He is really flexible and it is never a problem if I need to rearrange sessions or send a quick message to him between sessions.I really believe that Sean is in this profession because he truly cares about people and their well being. I couldn't recommend him more! More...

What do you love most about your job?
Advocate for Mental Health Awareness, and working towards ending stigma. I believe in a Counsellor/Client relationship based on mutual respect. I will not promise to cure you, that is within your own power, but I will promise to listen, guide, and act....and you will change for the better. My training and qualifications are ongoing. Learning and meeting new people each day. Listening, and helping others to be themselves.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Well, I was born in 1971 so I am at this time of writing 45. When I left school in 1987, with reasonable O Level and CSE grades, I studied an OND in Construction Management at Cornwall College Camborne. My intention was to go further on to become an Architect, which I had an interest in at the time. However at that age I was still undecided and I felt that I was doing it more for others rather than myself, so I decided to take time out and went to work full time....a career in Retail began. Over the next twenty years I worked for various Companies, including Tesco and Boots the Chemist, living in different locations and holding different positions from Sales Assistant up to Manager. In each job the part I liked, and excelled at, the most was the people part with mentoring peers and helping customers. I still felt like my career was misplaced though, and I felt as though I needed a change. Then, like fate, I had an accident which resulted in a mild back injury. I was off work for some time, and whilst I was I decided to go back to full time higher education once I was better. So, my new path started and I first studied and completed a HND in Applied Psychology at Truro College, Cornwall....followed by Plymouth University, Cornwall College Camborne again, studying online with King's College London, and taking on a PhD towards the end of this year (2018) or next. My first Graduation was in 2011. I have also completed, along the way, other Diplomas and Certifications in Psychology, Counselling, Psychotherapy, and numerous Mental Health issues. The areas of Counselling and Therapy are where I believe I do the most good, and take pride in what I have achieved. I was a student rep at Plymouth University, and took part in two Research Apprenticeship Schemes working with Professors and enabling me to co-author in my first published article.
Why should our clients choose you?
In my spare time I have been a local Town Councillor for the St. Mary's Ward, Bodmin Town Council, Cornwall...where I was a member of committees such as Planning, Youth, and Chairman of Promotions, but also outside committees dealing with residential areas and Victim Support where I was a liaison. Public speaking comes naturally to me, and I have been called upon often to participate in presentations and talks. I have undertaken counselling sessions, under supervision, and volunteered. In the past I have also offered, with others, free counselling through two internet sites I founded....Free Counselling Services, and the Counselling and Psychology Community – Social Network (both no longer available)....dealing with numerous issues, and using appropriate therapy techniques in an online environment for nearly four years. My work with people, both professional and other, has spanned over nearly thirty years. Whilst being an Independent Counsellor, previously, I have helped many people to overcome their issues...even just to talk, and mentoring. Testimonials from previous clients have been positive.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, all my services are online or by phone. Please go to https://sean-kyle.vsee.me/u/clinic so as to sign up and book your FREE 35 mins consultation.
Video call counselling.
Video call (webcam) via VSee (Skype, as back up) counselling is just like face-to-face, instead you talk online over a video link. This means you do not have to visit an office, and if say you are engaged in couples counselling your partner can also be in another location at the same time. What is required is a computer, laptop or device with a webcam, download necessary software, and internet connection.
Telephone counselling.
Telephone counselling is in real-time, only that you can not see each other. It is convenient, and the only cost is your normal phone and line (network) seeing as you will be called at the beginning of a session...so you do not pay for the call. Most certainly, it can be the step before face-to-face in the future. All you need is your phone, and connection.
Individual counselling.
Individual counselling is a one-to-one discussion between Counsellor and Client. The two form an alliance, relationship or bond that enables trust and personal growth.
Couples counselling.
Couples counselling is a form of therapy that looks to improve communication, and resolve issues within an intimate relationship.
Family counselling.
Family counselling helps people with relationship difficulties better manage the personal, or interpersonal, issues to do with children and family, and other problems....during marriage, separation, and divorce.
Life coaching
Life coaching helps you to identify goals, achieve those goals, guide you through changes and obstacles, give you permission to follow your dreams, teach you how to make the right decisions for yourself, focus on looking towards your future, and focus on solutions.
