About Stephen
Stephen Davis is a BACP-registered counsellor with ten years' experience. He offers a calm space to talk through worries, confusing choices, and painful moments. Stephen writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters to each person.
He combines Existential ideas with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That mix helps people link daily thoughts and actions to bigger questions about meaning and direction. Sessions can focus on immediate coping or longer-term reflection, depending on what someone needs.
Background and approach
Stephen works with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma and relationship problems. He also supports concerns around self-esteem, career choices, parenting pressures and LGBT matters. Additional areas he addresses include attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment issues, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress.
In a session he uses practical tools alongside open conversation. This can mean trying small behaviour changes, looking at patterns that cause pain, or coaching to build confidence. He adapts the approach to suit each person rather than sticking to one method.
People who prefer thinking about meaning and values often find his style helpful. He aims to make counselling straightforward and useful, helping people move from feeling stuck to clearer steps forward. Conversations start where the person is and progress at their pace.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Stephen combines Existential therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people clarify what matters and change habits that cause distress. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and purpose to help people facing life transitions or a sense of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on practical ways to test and change thoughts and behaviours that feed anxiety and depression.The therapist approaches treatment collaboratively. He will discuss different ways of working and agree on goals with the person, adjusting methods as needs and preferences become clearer. Finding the best approach is part of the work rather than a one-time decision.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is useful. Phone sessions suit times when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, paced written reflection, or when someone prefers to write rather than speak. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
