About Mitchell
Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist with 12 years' experience and full membership of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He began this work after personal therapy helped him change long-standing patterns from his childhood. That journey led him to train as a counsellor and to roles supporting people across the UK.
He has substantial experience in the voluntary and community sectors, including roles with Change, Grow & Live and The Forward Trust, where he supported people facing homelessness, addiction and poor mental health. He has also worked in local counselling services in Kent and Ashford.
Mitchell works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, addiction, trauma and identity issues. He also lists work around eating and sleeping problems, parenting, career challenges and ADHD, among other focuses. He offers online counselling to English-speaking adults aged 18 and over.
His style is down-to-earth and human. He writes that he laughs and curses and aims to be straightforward in sessions. He draws on life experience with stepfamilies, modern family dynamics and a background in the music industry to relate to creativity and complex family situations.
Mitchell uses a mix of therapeutic approaches to suit each person. He is a supervisor with The Forward Trust and brings practical experience helping people navigate change, loss and relationship strain. Clients can expect collaborative work aimed at clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and adjusting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleeping issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating, which is useful for relationship strain and intimacy concerns.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Mitchell will discuss what feels right and adapt methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences. He aims to collaborate, check progress, and change direction if a different approach seems more helpful.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, whether someone needs shorter check-ins, sessions outside usual travel time, or a way to keep working on problems from home. The biography states he offers online counselling for English-speaking adults, so confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions convenient for regular work on stress, addiction recovery, relationship issues and grief while balancing everyday commitments.
