About Steven
Steven Eveleigh is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. He works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, issues around sexuality and LGBT matters, workplace problems and feelings of guilt and shame.
He spent many years in investment banking before training in counselling. That shift came after feeling unhappy in a high-pressure role and wanting work that felt more honest. His background shapes a practical approach to talking about work stress and life transitions.
Steven uses a person-centred style. Sessions are led by the client, with the counsellor offering reflection and acceptance to help people name what matters. He listens for the thoughts and feelings that keep someone stuck and helps them sort through those experiences.
When useful, Steven may bring in techniques from transactional analysis or Gestalt therapy alongside person-centred ways of working. He discusses options with clients and finds practical ways to address particular problems such as low self-esteem, bereavement, or gender dysphoria.
People who feel overwhelmed by guilt or shame can expect a plainspoken, non-judgemental approach. Steven focuses on helping people talk through their feelings and look at how those feelings affect daily life and choices. He encourages active collaboration about next steps and what feels manageable.
To begin, people are invited to select an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Person-centred approaches and online sessions
Steven uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client's lead. This approach helps when someone needs to explore painful feelings such as guilt or shame without pressure to follow a set agenda.He may also incorporate elements of transactional analysis or Gestalt techniques when they suit a client's concerns. Transactional analysis can help identify repeating patterns in relationships and communication. Gestalt work focuses on present-moment experience and how unfinished business shows up in feelings and behaviour.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Steven discusses different options with each person and decides together what to try based on their needs and preferences. That conversation often happens in early sessions and can change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, supporting shorter check-ins during a work break, or allowing people to connect without needing a commute. Registered or accredited professionals offer online sessions that can help people keep therapy consistent while balancing day-to-day demands.
