Stephanie Boosey, NCPS

Stephanie Boosey offers counselling to people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or worn down by life. She aims to help clients name what is troubling them, process difficult feelings and take practical steps forward. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, and she tries to make sessions feel like a safe place for honest conversation.

Stephanie has an NCPS credential and six years of clinical experience working with adults. She describes her style as person-centred and broadly integrative, drawing on methods such as EMDR, mindfulness, Gestalt ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy. That mix allows her to adapt to different problems and preferences.

In sessions she uses guided techniques alongside open conversation. This can include mindfulness practices to manage anxiety, structured CBT strategies to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and EMDR-style processing for traumatic memories. The work is collaborative - clients set goals and Stephanie helps to find steps that fit their life.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career pressures and bipolar difficulties. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step matches people to an appropriate plan and session times are arranged afterwards.

How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape patterns today and helps people notice and change those patterns through new ways of relating. It can be useful for intimacy and attachment concerns and for understanding repeated relationship difficulties.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and gives space for their story to be heard. This approach supports self-awareness and makes room for people to set their own goals at a comfortable pace.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It often involves short exercises and real-life practice between sessions to support steady progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the client’s needs. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online counselling, check the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to simple exercises or guided mindfulness that translate well to remote sessions, while other work is paced to suit each individual.
