Stephanie Weatherley, BACP

Stephanie Weatherley is a personable counsellor who aims to make the first step into therapy feel easier. She introduces herself as down to earth, with a warm sense of humour, and seeks to build a trusting connection so people feel able to talk about what matters to them.

She works from an integrative, person-centred base and blends other evidence-based techniques to suit each person. That flexible approach helps when someone is facing anxiety, stress, low mood, trauma, or challenges linked to ADHD and neurodiversity. Stephanie describes the work as collaborative and practical, focusing on small steps that can improve day-to-day life.

Sessions often include practical strategies, grounding and visualisation tools, and techniques to manage panic and dissociation. Stephanie emphasises adapting these tools to each person’s needs and pace, and she aims to help people develop skills for managing emotions, attention, and relationships.

She also draws on her experience supporting people affected by trauma and abuse and works in a non-judgemental, welcoming manner when those topics arise. Stephanie has worked in the charity support sector for ten years, including helpline roles, and has three years of counselling experience.

Stephanie is based in the United Kingdom and works with adults and adolescents. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted, and practical arrangements are set when booking.

How Stephanie uses different therapeutic techniques online

Stephanie describes her work as integrative, drawing on a person-centred base alongside practical evidence-based techniques. A person-centred approach means the counsellor listens carefully, follows the person’s pace, and helps them make sense of their own experience. This is useful for people wanting a supportive, empathetic space to discuss difficult feelings.

She also uses cognitive-behavioural style techniques that look at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teach straightforward coping strategies. These approaches can help with anxiety, stress, low mood and some ADHD-related difficulties by breaking problems into manageable steps and practising new skills.

Finding the right way of working is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with each person and adapt methods as they learn what helps most. Goals, preferences and day-to-day needs guide which techniques are used and how sessions are organised.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats when booking as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family life. They also allow practical tools, homework and brief check-ins to be used between meetings so progress can continue beyond the session.
