The middle of three daughters of John and Deirdre Kerslake, Seána was born and raised in Tallaght, South County Dublin. She went on to study English and music at NUI Maynooth.

In 2010, while a student, Kerslake was cast in Kirsten Sheridan's Dollhouse, an unscripted Irish film. Her performance earned her an Irish Film & Television Academy award nomination in 2013.

Kerslake studied screen acting at The Factory, Bow Street, Dublin.

In 2016, Kerslake played the title character in A Date for Mad Mary directed by Darren Thornton. Her performance earned positive reviews from The Hollywood Reporter ("mesmerizing") and Variety("a barnstorming central performance"). She was awarded the Breakthrough Award by the Dublin Film Critics' Circle, and the Bingham Ray New Talent Award at the Galway Film Fleadh 2016.
