About

Hello I am Stephen, an Accredited Counsellor with over 20 years of experience.

I help people process their struggles, internal conflicts and thought patterns whilst working towards the wellbeing of individuals.

I work in a integrative way with clients which means I draw upon modalities that will help establish a way of working to suit individual needs.

Alongside this way of working I provide a warm empathic and supportive space for clients online whilst holding on to the importance of the therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor. I believe this is key in clients being able to trust and feel comfortable exploring issues which could form sensitive and distressing parts of their history.

I have an interest in workplace issues having worked previously in staff management and also in attachment behaviour, especially how people relate and attach to each other.

My experience involves work in voluntary organisations such as Samaritans and bereavement services.

I have also worked within the NHS and private and community counselling services and worked with diverse groups presenting with issues around culture, sexual and racial identity, learning difficulties, disability, addictive behaviour, anxiety depressive mood, bereavement, stress, work related issues, relationships, confidence and self esteem.

As a registered and accredited member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I adhere to their ethical framework.
