She works in a calm, non-judgemental way so clients can talk honestly about what is worrying them.

She uses a client-centred approach that prioritises the person's experience. Sessions are conversational and led by whatever a client brings that day.

Background and approach

The aim is to build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills and reduce the weight of difficult feelings over time. Stephanie trained for three years and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has worked in voluntary roles and in a GP practice, which broadened her experience with everyday concerns. Her background in the performing arts gives her particular insight into insecurities, self-doubt and pressure that can affect creative people.

She enjoys helping people rebuild confidence and reconnect with what matters to them. Sessions can address a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, relationship difficulties, addiction, trauma, grief, anger and work-related concerns. Stephanie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for flexible access to support.

Client-centred work delivered online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and respect. The counsellor follows the client's lead, helping people to name feelings and notice choices. This approach suits issues like anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and relationship concerns because it centres the person's experience.

Stephanie's background in counselling and the creative arts means she pays close attention to self-doubt and identity issues. In sessions she aims to help people increase self-awareness and build practical coping strategies for daily life. Together the client and counsellor review what helps and adapt how they work as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows brief check-ins or written reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to attend from different locations and to match the format to what feels most manageable.
