About Stacey
Stacey Coombes is a counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom. She has ten years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential. Stacey aims to make first contact as straightforward as possible for people feeling stressed or anxious.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through worries. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Background and approach
Stacey listens for patterns that cause distress and helps clients try small, practical changes between sessions. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, relationship problems, bereavement and trauma. She also supports people dealing with body image, parenting strain, career change, mood disorders and postnatal depression.
Stacey can help when life feels stuck after separation, loss or other big changes. Stacey blends different approaches rather than using a single method. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based techniques to build tolerance for difficult feelings.
Attachment-focused and emotionally focused ways of working help when relationships and connection are part of the issue. In sessions she balances listening with practical tools such as thought records, values-led goals and steps to improve communication. The aim is to increase self-understanding while testing new responses in everyday life.
Stacey encourages realistic, achievable goals and reviews progress together.
Practical approaches for online therapy and connection
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress and situations where avoidance has taken hold. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood by changing behaviour and thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses and supports rebuilding safer ways of relating to others and to oneself.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Stacey works collaboratively to choose methods that suit a person's goals and preferences. That might mean starting with behavioural experiments, then adding acceptance work or emotion-focused exercises if relationships are central to the difficulties. The plan changes as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone calls can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caring responsibilities and everyday life.
