About Mitchell

Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist with 12 years of practice and full membership of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He offers online counselling in English for adults aged 18 and over and draws on long experience in community and voluntary services across the UK. He is also a supervisor with The Forward Trust and has worked supporting people facing homelessness, addiction, and poor mental health.

Mitchell’s path into therapy began with his own personal work, which changed how he thought and behaved. That experience informs how he supports others. He keeps sessions direct and human. Clients can expect clear conversation, practical ideas, and a down-to-earth manner.

He works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family issues, trauma-related difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and loss, and challenges with identity and sexual orientation. Thoughts and everyday habits are part of his focus when helping people change patterns that cause distress.

Mitchell uses several therapeutic approaches to suit different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based and client-centred methods, and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. He adapts his way of working to each person rather than applying a single method.

His background includes community counselling roles and time in the music industry, which shapes a relaxed and creative clinical style. He aims to help people make practical changes that fit their daily lives and responsibilities.

How Mitchell applies therapy online

Mitchell draws on several well known approaches to help people when meeting online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and building small steps that align with those values, which can help with anxiety and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and habits affect feelings and behaviour, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current connection and trust, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Mitchell listens to each person’s goals, day-to-day routines and challenges, and together they decide which methods to try and when to adjust them. The aim is to match techniques to what feels useful, not to stick rigidly to one model.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and make sessions possible for people living some distance apart. The biography confirms he offers online counselling in English for adults 18+, but it does not list specific session types. Please confirm the available session formats when booking so arrangements suit your schedule and practical needs.
