About Steven
He trained at The College of Holistic Medicine in Glasgow and holds BACP membership. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. His training included client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and Gestalt-influenced practice as part of an integrated approach.
Steven uses attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He combines that with client-centred listening so the person defines the goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Sessions tend to focus on building awareness and small changes that make daily life easier. He encourages people to notice strengths they already have and to try practical strategies between sessions. Steven frames therapy as a collaboration rather than giving fixed instructions.
With seven years of professional experience, he draws on that background to help people develop coping skills and clearer choices. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedules sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. Online or in person this approach helps people notice repeated ways of relating and try different responses. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. It creates space for someone to set the pace and decide what matters most in their life.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, hopes and practical constraints. Together they will choose which methods to emphasise and adjust those choices as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep regular contact when travel is difficult. It also allows a mix of deeper reflective conversation and shorter practical check‑ins, which can suit people juggling work, family and midlife transitions.
