About Stephanie

Stephanie Viggars is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties. She also helps with grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career worries, low self-esteem and the impact of trauma and abuse. Stephanie approaches her work with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than using the same approach for everyone. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so people can manage everyday pressures and feel more hopeful. Stephanie aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

With four years of experience she has worked with problems such as attachment or commitment issues, communication difficulties and jealousy. She also offers support around postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, seasonal affective disorder and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is presented as part of her professional standing in the UK.

Clients can expect a collaborative style where the counsellor listens and then suggests small, concrete changes. Conversations can cover coping strategies, ways to improve sleep and methods to repair or clarify relationships. The aim is to help people make steady, realistic progress in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make changes. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with stress, worry and common mood problems.

Another approach concentrates on improving how people communicate and connect. It looks at patterns such as attachment or commitment concerns, and offers straightforward exercises to try between sessions to build trust and clarity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with each person and adapts methods to fit their goals, needs and preferences. This is a joint process so adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and removes travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone choose sessions that suit their day-to-day routine. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking to see what will best fit your life.
