Firstly, I have never sat for over an hour looking at a blank page to write a review! Reason being I don’t know where to start……but now I have!
Stephen Carter - is a man who is currently saving my sons sanity! My son who didn’t want to be on this earth anymore, my 17yr old beautiful precious son wanted to walk down the train track when the train was coming and end his own life!!! I was broken! But more importantly - my son was deadly broken! I quit my job….called the doctor and spent hours looking for immediate professional private therapy for him, as the NHS wait list was up to 3 months!!! My son needed immediate urgent help and thank the lord above I came across Steve, I called and he discussed my sons problem with me and we arranged a first visit. We arrived the following week and was greeted and seated feeling very relaxed - I looked at my son and whispered ‘are you ok’ - he replied ‘yes Mom’ - we agreed I would sit in another room for him to be able to speak freely and privately. The hour session commenced.
An hour and 15 minutes passed and we left!…. My sons face and the words he said to me was every mothers wish! (That was after the first session!!!!) - needless to say I broke down with happy tears when we got home! My son has had 4 sessions with Steve to date and I can personally promise anyone - Steve is a wonderful person who is very knowledgeable, dedicated, understanding, professional and you really can talk to him about anything and everything feeling safe and in comfort. Steve created a personal tailored recovery plan for my son and no amount of medication or NHS service can compare to the positive impact that Steve has had on my sons mental health. I am now seeing a young man dealing with his problem with clever techniques, a positive mind, confidence and happiness within himself! Steve - you are a very clever, kind man and I will be forever grateful to you! Thankyou dearly from my heart. Katrina. Xx

Counselling
A good start to the Therapy that I was looking for and I got on well with the Therapist on first introductory session.
David Butterworth
Steve is very skilled at identifying what is causing the issues you have by using non threatening questions and helps you to help yourself deal with them.
He is very respectful to what you say. I would happily recommend Steve to anyone. His book is worth a read as well

Steve is a kind thoughtful and knowledgeable therapist, my experience was brief but succinct and I have noticed quite a difference in my thoughts and feelings about myself since having the sessions… thank you
What do you love most about your job?
After more than thirty years as a psychologist helping people in work all over the world, I am loving helping people thrive in a more personal setting. There is no greater buzz than someone letting you know how much you have helped them.
Why should our clients choose you?
I think that over 30 years of experience is important plus the fact that I am not bound by any particular approach and can be very flexible with my responses to the challenges that different clients bring.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can provide both face to face and online support
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have a client safety protocol that both parties must follow
Life-coaching
Using a unique approach co-developed with the renowned psychologist Dr Michael Apter I offer an approach that begins with your 'wholeself' - deepening your understanding of who you are and what you have to offer the world. This is a much more useful 'starting point' for change than searching around for goals that can feel vague and abstract. It sees your life as something you 'inhabit' and from which clear goals and choices can be made. A coaching programme is usually over 4 x 1 hour sessions and an be delivered fact to face or on-line. £60.00 per session of 60-90 minutes
Anxiety, Trauma and Therapy
Through a combination of clinical hypnotherapy and NLP, I can help you reduce and even overcome the debilitating impact of ongoing anxiety and trauma. The number of sessions required can depend upon the severity and origins of the problem and this is agreed upon after the initial session.£60.00 per session of 60-90 minutes
Confidence Boost
Many people suffer from low esteem and self-confidence which results in them never achieving the fulfillment in life of which they are capable. This is 3 session programme is a fast-track to the new you! £60.00 per session of 60-90 minutes
Anger Management
This is a program for controlling anger and preventing its destructive manifestations: Without anger management, your outbursts of hostility may eventually have catastrophic consequences. As with all my work I take a multi-stranded approach looking at the roots of the anger response, the triggers of the anger (not the same thing!) , the behaviours that result and the consequences that arise. Through a process of exploration and resolution we will work together to reduce and resolve the causes and implications of unwanted bursts of anger. £60.00 per session of 60-90 minutes
Career Coaching
I offer a solution-based approach to career decisions that considers lifestyle needs, and current and future expectations. I am particularly interested in helping people consider a 'life-shift' from one work style to another - whether that is a complete change in direction, ambition, or attitudes to work. This can include people transitioning into retirement.
I hope I can help people who feel, blocked, stuck or simply confused! As a practising business and performance psychologist, I have over 30 years of experience in helping people work to a more rewarding and fulfilling life. £60.00 per session of 60-90 minutes
Note on online sessions
All the above programs are now also offered online. I really built up my skills in online delivery during the pandemic. I must admit at first I was a little uncertain of how effective they might be. I was confident in the coaching aspects of my work but less so with the counselling and therapy. I am now a convert! Online can work brilliantly and gives you the client more flexibility in terms of what and when. What is also really effective is a hybrid model blending face-to-face and on-line.
Relationship and Family Counselling
We are a world built of relationships and sometimes the most important ones are the most difficult to keep healthy and working well BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT. Maintaining great relationships is a life skill most of us have learned 'on the job' with all the problems that can therefore arise! My approach is to work with you to build again the essential trust, openness and tolerance of difference; to help you strengthen the ability to listen with respect and compassion and speak in a way that gets heard, and to enable love and affection do their magic! £60.00 per session of 60-90 minutes
