About Steven
Steven Manfredi trained to become a counsellor after experiencing therapy himself and seeing the difference it made. He holds BACP registration, and brings four years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. Steven aims to make the first step easier for people who feel unsure about starting therapy.
He works in a person-centred way, putting the client at the centre of conversations and focusing on what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions are calm and non-judgemental, and he encourages people to speak openly about stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes. He also supports people dealing with relationship strains, career concerns and self-esteem issues. Steven uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice and manage overwhelming feelings.
He also draws on solution-focused methods to identify practical steps and small changes that can make a difference week to week. These approaches are used alongside client-centred listening and reflection. Clients often explore topics such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, and aspects of identity including LGBT concerns.
Additional areas he helps with include ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and fatherhood questions. Steven aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. He focuses on building resilience, confidence and clearer self-understanding so people can move forward at their own pace.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins or a way to work without being on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
