About Mitchell
Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor with 12 years' experience and full membership of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He offers online counselling in English for adults aged 18 and over. His background includes work across the voluntary sector and community counselling services around the UK.
Mitchell came to this work through personal and professional growth. He used his own therapy to change patterns rooted in childhood. That experience shaped how he sits with people now and informs his practical, down-to-earth approach.
Background and approach
He has supported people facing anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties. He also helps with trauma and dissociation, issues around identity and sexual orientation, grief and low self-esteem. His practice includes attention to parenting, blended family dynamics and challenges that come with career and life transitions.
Mitchell combines several well-known approaches to fit each person’s needs. He draws on acceptance-based thinking, attachment work and cognitive strategies to help people notice patterns and try different choices. He also uses person-centred ways of listening so people feel heard.
Clients can expect a frank and human presence in sessions. He writes plainly, laughs, and speaks without jargon. The focus is practical change - clearer thinking, steadier moods and more workable relationships - found by working together in a straightforward way.

How Mitchell works online
He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships still shape current reactions. That approach can help when relationship patterns or trust issues keep returning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mitchell treats therapy as a collaboration - he will talk through different ways of working and test what fits the client's aims and preferences. Goals and methods are reviewed together as sessions progress.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and being able to join from different places. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online work makes it easier to keep continuity between appointments and to make therapy part of everyday life.
