About Stacey

Stacey Coombes helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem and other emotional concerns using a blend of talking therapies. She is registered with NCPS and has 10 years' experience working in the United Kingdom.

Stacey uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. Sessions focus on clear, practical work and on understanding what keeps problems going. She offers ways of coping with strong emotions, changes in mood, and difficult life events such as grief, separation, or past abuse.

Her background emphasises both feelings and behaviour. That means some sessions look at patterns in thoughts and actions, while others explore early attachment experiences and how they affect current relationships. Techniques may include acceptance-based work, emotion-focused exercises, and client-centred listening to help people make sense of their experiences.

Stacey also works with issues around body image, intimacy, parenting pressures, career stress and postnatal mood concerns. She pays attention to how shame, guilt or isolation can affect day-to-day life, and offers practical steps to reduce impulsivity and manage strong reactions.

Sessions are delivered in English and she does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, users are asked to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections and emotional responses; it can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and trust. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person's own pace and perspective, offering reflective listening and a space to talk through difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then use a combination of methods to match the person's needs. That process is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work through life changes and to explore relationship and mood difficulties from wherever someone is based in the United Kingdom.
