About Mitchell

Mitchell Stevens works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction and a wide range of other emotional and psychological difficulties using conversational, person-focused methods. He is a full member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and has 12 years' experience in counselling and therapeutic work.

Mitchell offers online counselling in English for adults aged 18 and over. He has experience supporting people with depression, bipolar-related concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, intimacy and sexual identity issues. He also lists additional focus areas such as attachment concerns, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress and body image.

His background includes work in the voluntary sector with Change, Grow & Live and The Forward Trust. In those roles he supported people affected by homelessness, addiction and poor mental health. He has also worked in community counselling settings with Ashford Counselling Service and Kent Counsellors.

Mitchell trained and qualified as a counsellor after using his own therapy experience to change how he thought and acted. He describes that personal change as central to his work and says it helped him in family roles such as father and partner. He also draws on a long career in the music industry as a musician, writer, producer and sound engineer.

In sessions he combines approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. He also carries out supervision work with The Forward Trust and aims to be direct and human in his manner.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that formed early in life and looks at how those patterns affect current relationships and trust. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening, reflecting and following the person's pace to help them clarify what matters.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mitchell will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan with the person based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the practical arrangements available and the typical session length when you set up the first appointment.
