About Stephanie

Stephanie Cartwright is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on client-centred work to help people make practical changes. She uses direct, focused sessions to tackle issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Stephanie holds BACP registration and brings eight years of experience to her practice.

Her sessions are aimed at people who want steady, measurable progress rather than long, open-ended therapy. She helps people rebuild self-esteem, regain confidence after a breakup or work through bereavement and carers' concerns. Common themes she supports include grief, intimacy issues, anger, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with life changes.

Stephanie has worked in a hospice setting supporting people with terminal and non-terminal diagnoses and their carers. That experience informs how she helps clients facing end-of-life issues, cancer, and the complex emotions around loss and transition.

Her approach combines client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness and solution-focused work. Sessions are practical and often include short tasks to try between meetings so new habits can be tested in everyday life.

Over eight years she has developed techniques that consider mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing together. People who choose her work can expect sessions that focus on clear priorities, practical steps and tools to help them feel more in control.

How her approaches work online and in practice

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the individual, helping people feel heard and understood so they can choose their next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small changes to thinking and behaviour that can reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then use a mix of methods to suit those priorities. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Please confirm the specific session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or appointments and may reduce travel time. It also lets people try short focused check-ins or longer sessions depending on what fits into their week, so therapy can be layered into everyday life rather than take it over.
