About Steven
He draws on a mix of counselling approaches to suit each person. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviours, using mindfulness skills, or working in a client-centred way to follow what matters most to you. He also uses techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy and motivational interviewing when they fit the goals in a plan.
Sessions are conversational and practical. The counsellor listens first, identifies priorities together, and then tries techniques that match your needs. This might include short-term strategies for coping with crisis, or longer work on patterns that keep causing pain.
Steven has worked with people facing relationship strain, career stress, identity and LGBT concerns, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD and attachment issues. He also supports those dealing with trauma, bereavement, blended family issues and body image concerns.
He holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. He offers help in English and accepts international clients. To begin you use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule according to his availability.

How his approaches work online
Steven often blends client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try clearer, more manageable actions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person, which helps build trust and clarity about goals.He also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong emotions or repeated crises are present. DBT techniques can be useful for managing anger, intense mood swings, and improving day-to-day coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your goals, try a few methods, and adapt the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that can change as your needs change.
