Sebastian Simpson-Bandidin

People work with me when anxiety, low mood, guilt, grief, or relationship difficulties have started to feel harder to carry alone. Sometimes there is a clear problem, sometimes the problem is a lack of clarity, or patterns keep repeating, or you have lost touch with yourself.

I think a lot of healing is based around asking yourself good questions and being willing to attempt to answer them (although asking the question can sometimes be the answer itself) and in essence eft is a space to sit with these problems and see what lies beneath the surface.

EFT is a space to talk about and explore what is going on for you as we tap on meridians across the body, we dig a little bit at the beliefs around this and move towards acceptance of ourselves in our darkness and our light.

Choosing the right person to work with is paramount when deciding which route you take. Below is a little bit more about me and the approach and if you're interested, lets have a call and see if we are a good fit or not.

About Me

I was led into many different paths of CBT, talk therapies, meditation, Buddhism, and Christian mysticism. After a lot of soul searching, I landed in a blend of mythological framework, shadow work, journaling, Jungian analysis, somatic therapy, and EFT - it is the framework that has made the most sense to me on a personal and practical level.

I do not pretend to have all the answers, but I have walked (and still walk) my own dedicated path through the depths of the psyche, as we all must at different points in life. My goal is simple: to help you process what is coming up, restore balance to your nervous system, and orientate you back onto your own truth.

If you would like to test the waters, book a session through the Cal.com link or send me a message to ask any questions, set up a 10 minute introduction (for free) or book your first 60-minute session.

Diploma in EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) Practitioner

Active training in Somatic Counselling (London-based) with ISOHH

Extensive independent study in Somatic Intelligence, Polyvagal Theory, and Jungian Depth Psychology

I am very much on a lifelong healing journey myself, and I do not treat this work as a 'quick fix' for deep-seated emotional patterns. Instead, I offer it as a deeply collaborative, grounding tool to help you safely map and integrate the split-off or hidden parts of your psyche.

Emotional Freedom Technique: Using tapping to address beliefs and opinions we have about ourselves and reframing our relationship with our own pain and suffering as we build a deeper acceptance and instil new beliefs.

Nervous System Regulation: Shifting out of survival modes, chronic anxiety, panic, and prolonged emotional freeze states, depression.

Shadow Integration: Giving voice and somatic space to the hidden, taboo, or "difficult" aspects of our personal struggles.

Somatic Tracking: Learning to listen to the physical language of the body where unprocessed emotional blockages are held.

What to Expect in a Session

I specialise in EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), commonly known as "Tapping." This is a gentle, evidence-based somatic practice where we tap on specific acupressure points on the face and chest while focusing on emotional or physical distress. It works directly with the body to calm the brain's threat response (the amygdala).

During our 60-minute online session, I will demonstrate the technique, we will map out what is currently coming up for you, and we will focus intentionally on one or two specific areas you are struggling with. Alongside EFT, my approach is deeply informed by Jungian archetype work and comparative mythology, which often provide a beautiful symbolic template for understanding our personal conflicts.
