About Steve

Background and approach

Before moving into counselling he spent over 17 years in recruitment and agency management, so he understands the demands of busy working life. Sessions focus on identifying recurring patterns and linking past experiences to current difficulties. Conversations aim to increase self-awareness and support clearer choices about relationships, career direction and daily coping.

Steve keeps explanations simple and practical so people know what to try between sessions. He has worked with people facing anxiety, stress, addictions, family problems and career difficulties. Other areas he has supported include attachment and abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, chronic illness and cancer related distress, and first responder challenges.

Steve offers online counselling across the United Kingdom, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Ways of working Steve names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Psychodynamic counselling online and how it helps

Psychodynamic counselling explores repeating patterns and how earlier experiences influence present feelings and choices. It can help when anxiety, stress or relationship difficulties feel familiar and hard to shift. Sessions encourage awareness of those patterns so people can make different decisions in day-to-day life.

Steve also draws on his background in mentoring and coaching to focus on practical next steps when needed. That combination can suit people wanting both deeper understanding and concrete changes in work or family life. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process and the therapist will discuss what feels most useful for each person’s goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make counselling more accessible around work and family commitments and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
