With more than 20 years working in counselling and a PhD in clinical psychology, Sebastian Di Cesare PhD, RCC Counselling & Hypnotherapy is the therapist I recommend when someone in Port Moody needs clear, practical help. He is known locally for combining registered clinical counselling (RCC) with clinical hypnotherapy, helping adults and teens with anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and performance stress. His office is warm and discreet, located near the Inlet, with comfortable seating and a quiet therapy room set up for in-person and secure online sessions.

Sebastian offers a mix of evidence-based therapies and hands-on tools. Expect cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) alongside trauma-focused EMDR and hypnotherapy sessions tailored to your needs. He uses structured treatment plans, often mapping progress in measurable steps over 8 to 16 sessions. For people struggling with exam or workplace performance he provides performance-enhancement hypnotherapy modules. For trauma clients he integrates EMDR protocols and grounding exercises, and for chronic anxiety he teaches concrete breathing and pacing techniques you can practise between sessions.

Working with Sebastian feels practical and rooted in expertise. He assesses intake forms, then outlines a clear plan you can agree to, with homework and progress check-ins. He is patient, direct when needed, and explains each technique so you understand why it helps. Appointments are available weekday evenings and some Saturday mornings to accommodate busy schedules. He accepts direct billing through several major insurers for counselling services, and offers secure video sessions for people across the Lower Mainland.

People choose Sebastian because he blends rigorous training with an approachable style that gets results. Neighbours come to him for thoughtful, measurable change rather than vague promises. Call to book a consultation, or visit the website to learn more.
