Steven Eveleigh, BACP

Steven Eveleigh is a BACP registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. After working in fast-paced investment banking roles in London and later Bournemouth, he retrained as a counsellor when he realised that supporting people offered a more meaningful direction. The change felt natural, and he soon established a practice built around listening, empathy and respectful curiosity.

Steven works in a client-centred way, allowing sessions to be led by the individual's priorities while offering gentle guidance and reflection. He supports people through a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement and low self-esteem, as well as LGBT-related concerns and other areas such as gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, workplace problems and feelings of emptiness.

As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Steven meets recognised professional standards and continues to expand his knowledge to offer effective care. He aims to create a down-to-earth, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and work collaboratively toward clearer understanding. Where appropriate, he may integrate additional methods such as transactional analysis or Gestalt therapy to suit a client's needs.

Client-Centered Approaches for Online Therapy

Client-Centred therapy focuses on providing an empathic, non-judgemental environment where the client directs the pace and topics of conversation. This approach helps people who are facing issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief or identity concerns by prioritising acceptance and the client's own insights.

Steven can also draw on transactional analysis to explore repeated patterns in relationships and communication, which can be helpful for workplace tensions and interpersonal problems, and on Gestalt techniques that emphasise present-moment awareness and emotional processing to address grief, emptiness or unresolved feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. As a registered professional, Steven works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and he adapts the work as those needs evolve.

Online therapy with Steven is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent contact with a therapist and to access support from home or work without travel.
