Stephanie Viggars, BACP

Stephanie Viggars helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She supports clients facing relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and anger. She also works with issues around parenting, sleep, career changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Stephanie’s direct style is warm and respectful and aimed at practical change.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person. Sessions focus on what matters now and on clear steps forward. That can include looking at how past relationships affect current patterns, exploring communication and commitment issues, or working on coping strategies for depression and seasonal mood changes.

Stephanie has a BACP credential, which indicates she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years of professional experience in the UK and offers counselling in English. International clients are accepted.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then suggests practical ways to try between sessions. Therapy may include coaching elements to help set and reach goals, and focused conversations about sexuality, non-monogamous relationships, postpartum concerns, or family of origin issues.

Stephanie encourages people who feel stuck to take a small step and see if talking helps. The aim is clearer thinking, less reactivity, and more confidence in day-to-day life.

Approaches to help with relationships and life stress

Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns to help people understand how earlier bonds shape current intimacy and communication problems; this can be useful for commitment issues, jealousy or difficulties in non-monogamous arrangements.

Another strand focuses on short-term coaching and coping strategies. These techniques help people manage anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and day-to-day stress through clear, achievable steps and personalised plans.

Choosing the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals and preferences, then try methods that fit your situation. If an approach needs adjusting, that will be discussed and adapted together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective support remotely when the approach and timing suit the client.
