Stacey Coombes, NCPS

Stacey Coombes is an accredited integrative counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She combines a range of therapeutic methods to create a tailored approach for each person she works with, adapting techniques to fit individual needs and life circumstances. She holds NCPS, a professional counselling registration that indicates accredited practice in counselling and psychotherapy.

Stacey specialises in areas such as self-esteem, stress, anger and impulsive behaviour, anxiety, shame, inner-child work, domestic abuse and relationship difficulties, while also supporting people through life transitions and longstanding emotional burdens. Her work extends across a broad set of concerns including family and parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image concerns, career stress, bipolar and mood disorders, postpartum depression, and veteran and armed forces issues.

As an integrative practitioner, Stacey offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space and practical tools to help people move forward at their own pace. She sees therapy as a collaborative process - meeting clients where they are, offering insight and support, and helping to develop strategies that fit each person’s goals and circumstances. Reaching out for help is an important step, and Stacey aims to guide and support clients toward greater clarity, resilience and self-understanding.

Approaches for online therapy and practical access

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and focuses on identifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand and change connection styles to improve intimacy, communication and relationship difficulties.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where the person leads the pace and focus, supporting self-exploration and self-esteem work.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic journey. Stacey works collaboratively with clients and with other registered professionals when appropriate to find the right mix of strategies based on each person’s needs, goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible access to these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, and allows people to connect from the comfort of their chosen space while working with a therapist who adapts methods to suit remote formats.
