About Steven
Steven Manfredi is a counsellor who came to the role after benefiting from therapy himself. He trained in person-centred work and now uses that experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. He holds BACP registration and practises in the United Kingdom.
His style is straightforward and down-to-earth. He offers a non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions aim to help clients make sense of difficult feelings and find practical steps forward.
Steven draws on client-centred, mindfulness and solution-focused approaches. That means he listens carefully, helps people notice patterns in their thinking and feelings, and works with them to set achievable goals. He uses gentle, practical interventions rather than technical jargon.
He has around four years of professional experience and has supported people with depression, relationship tensions, family problems, anger and issues linked to identity and intimacy. He also works with concerns such as ADHD, career stress, chronic health challenges and bereavement.
People can expect work tailored to their needs. Steven seeks to build resilience, confidence and clearer self-understanding through gradual steps. He frames the work as a partnership and helps clients decide which tools and strategies will suit their situation.
How these approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the counsellor. It helps when someone needs space to talk, be heard and make their own decisions about change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce intense reactivity and increase steadiness, which can help with anxiety and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, manageable steps that move a person towards their goals and is useful when people want practical short-term gains.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss preferences, needs and goals and together they will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process means the approach can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.
Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter setting during a break at work. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods to suit each client's circumstances and daily routine.
