Background and approach

Clients commonly work on rebuilding self-esteem, improving confidence after a breakup, and managing grief alongside life responsibilities. Stephanie has experience working in a hospice setting and supporting people facing terminal and non-terminal diagnoses. She has also supported carers who are adjusting to changes in a loved one and navigating the slow, difficult process of bereavement.

Her approach blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas. That means sessions combine careful listening with practical exercises and short-term goals to change unhelpful thoughts or behaviours. Over eight years Stephanie has broadened her methods to consider mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing.

She explains ideas in everyday language and sets simple priorities between sessions so people can practise new coping strategies. The emphasis is on building control, focus and steady progress. People can expect a straightforward, collaborative style that aims for measurable change.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s priorities and practical needs.

How Stephanie’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The counsellor helps the person find their own solutions by reflecting back what matters and encouraging self-directed change. This approach suits people who need space to make sense of feelings and decide their own next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Sessions often include practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking or behaving. CBT is helpful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

The therapist will work with the person to choose the right mix of approaches. That choice is a shared process based on needs, goals and how someone prefers to work. Sessions begin by identifying priorities, then adapt the methods if a different way proves more useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people attend sessions. Video calls let visual cues guide conversation, phone sessions fit into a short break and require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and changing routines while keeping the collaborative approach intact.
