About Steven
Steven holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He trained at The College of Holistic Medicine in Glasgow where he studied the Core Capacity Approach. That training included client-centred work, cognitive behavioural tools and Gestalt-informed ideas. He has seven years of professional experience working with these methods.
In sessions he focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape how people feel and act. He encourages people to notice patterns, try small changes and build practical routines that fit their life. He also pays attention to attachment themes and how early relationships affect current choices.
Steven tends to work in an open, collaborative way. He invites clients to set meaningful goals and to test out new approaches between meetings. Many sessions include mindfulness exercises and straightforward behavioural steps to reduce anxiety and manage urges.
He emphasises personal responsibility alongside self-compassion. The aim is to help people become clearer about their story, find workable coping strategies and gradually feel more able to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand connection issues, fear of abandonment and why they respond strongly in some relationships. Client-centred therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. It helps with anxiety, low mood and problem habits by offering clear steps to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as therapy unfolds to suit the person's needs.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let someone use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or choose meetings that fit a work break. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists with attachment, client-centred and CBT approaches, often use these practical advantages to help clients build new habits and manage everyday stresses.
