Background and approach

Her background includes training in therapeutic counselling and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Stephanie blends person-centred ways of working with mindfulness practices to help people feel steadier in daily life. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions, which can be useful for improving self-esteem and communication. Mindfulness involves simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and support coping with anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what helps most. This means you and the therapist decide together which methods to keep using as goals evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when themes benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Text and live chat can suit shorter reflections or ongoing support between meetings. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and day-to-day routines.
