About Stephanie

Stephanie "Steph" Preston is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. Steph also supports work around self-esteem, motivation, commitment issues, family problems, life purpose and learning to practise self-love.

Steph aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. She listens carefully and adapts conversations to each person's needs.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around what matters to the individual rather than a fixed agenda. She uses a client-centred way of working that places the person's own experience at the heart of the conversation. This helps people feel heard and encourages them to find their own solutions.

Steph also draws on existential perspectives to look at meaning, choice and how people want to live their lives. In practical terms she will talk through how past patterns of thinking and behaving affect the present. Together the client and Steph identify small, workable steps to change unhelpful patterns.

The emphasis is on building skills and confidence to handle day-to-day challenges. Steph describes the first step as an act of courage and aims to offer steady support while people make changes. If someone is ready to reach out she will listen and respond with empathy while helping them move towards clearer goals.

How client-centred and existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what is said to help the person clarify feelings and choices. This approach suits people wanting a supportive space to talk through stress, low mood or relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, purpose and how people make choices. It encourages exploring values and life direction, which can help when someone feels stuck, uncertain about commitment or is rethinking life goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the person to decide which ideas and methods feel most helpful. This is a collaborative conversation that can change as goals shift over time.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows full face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still working on meaningful change.
