He has supported people in drug and alcohol services, mental health teams, advocacy roles, nursing, domestic abuse services, and child and family work, bringing a broad practical background to each therapeutic relationship.

Trained in person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, he uses an integrative method that draws on a variety of techniques to meet each person’s needs.

The aim is to support practical resolution and to help people move toward a more sustainable and fulfilling life.

Stephen works with individuals and couples on a wide range of mental health and emotional concerns, offering tailored psychological and emotional care. His practice emphasizes helping people heal, regain energy, and recognise their inner strengths by listening closely and developing an individualised treatment plan. He provides a neutral, supportive space and works without judgment, valuing each client’s uniqueness and potential.
