I have been working with Stephen for approximately three months. I've found him to be an excellent therapist. In a practical sense he is organised, punctual and responsive. In terms of the therpay experience I think he is excellent and this assessment comes after failing to 'click' on two previous attempts with other therapists. Stephen listens, dircts and questions and has helped me to link aspects of my past with current problems. I look forward to working with him more and would recommend that if you are looking at working with a therapist, you strongly consider working with Stephen.

- BACP
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor / Psychotherapist licensed in the UK with a broad and diverse clinical expertise extending over 23 years. With a creative and international background, I work both short term and long term with Individuals working in both corporate and the not-for-profit sector. I also provide Management Consultancy for Mental Health, HR issues, Workplace Coaching and Advice.
I use a bespoke approach, drawing from a variety of psychological learnings - all framed within a Rogerian Humanistic model. My counselling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and generate an environment that is equal, professional and open at all times to joint collaboration, adjustment and ongoing review.
I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs and have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns and have experience with anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, stress and inner conflict, LGBTQI+ , workplace difficulty and career challenges, abuse, disability, body image, and bullying / harassment.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
