About Stephanie
Stephanie Weatherley is a counsellor who aims to make starting therapy less daunting. She introduces herself with a friendly, down-to-earth style that many find easy to connect with. Steph is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
She holds BACP accreditation and brings three years of counselling experience to her practice. Before training as a counsellor she spent a decade working in the charity support sector. That background gave her wide experience on helplines and in one-to-one support.
Background and approach
Those years inform the practical, steady approach she brings to sessions and her comfort with difficult conversations. Her work focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, loneliness, control issues, divorce and separation, and related concerns.
Steph combines a person-centred foundation with an integrative style so sessions can be adapted to each person’s needs. In practice she aims to build a trusting, non-judgemental relationship. Sessions often include exploring thoughts and feelings, identifying patterns, and working on practical steps and coping skills.
She mentions grounding, visualisation and techniques for panic and dissociation as tools she uses when appropriate. Steph describes herself as warm and approachable, and she invites clients to shape the work together. International clients may be accepted; check current session options before booking.

How Stephanie works online
She also draws on cognitive-behavioural ideas, which focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical steps to change patterns. CBT-style work can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it offers clear tools to test and shift thoughts and behaviours.
When trauma is part of the picture she uses grounding and visualisation techniques to help manage overwhelming sensations and panic. These approaches aim to build skills that reduce distress in moments of high emotion and support gradual processing of upsetting memories.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey and will be decided together. The therapist will help identify priorities and try methods that feel manageable, adapting as needs and goals change.
