Stephanie Wood, BACP

Stephanie Wood is a person-centred counsellor based at Dragonfly Counselling in York who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and other life changes. With a background in the performing arts, she brings an attuned, empathetic presence and an understanding of the insecurities that can affect creative individuals. Clients find her approach calm and non-judgmental, focused on helping them explore their feelings and discover their own solutions rather than being given directives.

She trained over three years to complete a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and has since built experience through voluntary roles with local charities and work in a rural GP practice. These roles, together with time spent in educational settings, have helped her work with a broad range of concerns and diverse client needs. Stephanie is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and she holds an enhanced DBS certificate. She is also fully qualified and insured.

Stephanie practises using a client-centred, non-directive style that privileges the client’s own expertise about their life. She offers supportive therapy tailored to each person, helping clients build self-awareness, resilience and clearer next steps. For those seeking an empathic listener and collaborative guide, she provides a compassionate space to reflect and move forward.
