About Stephanie

Stephanie Weatherley works with stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, depression and ADHD using an integrative counselling approach that centres the person. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience as a practising counsellor.

Stephanie combines person-centred work with techniques drawn from a range of therapeutic practices. Sessions focus on identifying current problems, looking at practical steps and strategies, and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. She includes tools for managing panic, grounding for dissociation, and approaches that help with focus and time management when ADHD or autistic traits affect daily life.

Her background includes ten years in the charity support sector where she provided helpline support and counselling. That experience informs how she listens and how she offers practical suggestions alongside talking work. She has worked with people affected by childhood trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence and complex trauma, and supports work to reduce shame, isolation and feelings of emptiness.

Stephanie adapts sessions to suit the individual and may introduce visualisation and grounding methods where helpful. She aims to help people develop skills that make day-to-day life more manageable and to improve relationships and communication. Sessions include collaborative problem-solving and steps that can be practised between meetings.

She offers help to adults and adolescents and accepts international clients. Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Stephanie uses different approaches in online sessions

Stephanie describes her work as integrative, combining person-centred counselling with techniques from cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic and other approaches. Person-centred work focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective and is useful for building trust and exploring feelings. Cognitive-behavioural techniques look at patterns in thoughts and behaviour and offer practical steps to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful routines.

She also uses grounding and visualisation methods when trauma symptoms are present to help manage dissociation and panic. These techniques are practical and can be practised between sessions to increase day-to-day coping. Choosing which approaches to use is done together, with the therapist and client agreeing what fits the client's needs and goals.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel or family life and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without being on camera. Many people find that remote sessions reduce travel time and make regular appointments simpler to keep, while still allowing collaborative, therapeutic work with a registered professional.
