Steven Eveleigh, BACP

Steven Eveleigh is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression, grief and issues around identity and sexuality. Steven aims to help clients feel heard and clearer about what they want next.

He came to counselling after many years in high-pressure roles in London and Bournemouth. That background shaped his understanding of workplace pressure and the toll it can take. After training and qualifying, he has spent six years building his practice and widening his skills around mood concerns and life transitions.

Steven works in a person-centred way, which means sessions are steered by the client's concerns and pace. He listens, reflects and helps people make sense of feelings so they can notice choices and next steps. This tends to suit people who want a respectful, empathetic space rather than a directive approach.

He also draws on other methods when they fit the situation, such as transactional analysis and Gestalt work. These are used to help with patterns in relationships, self-esteem, or recurring feelings of emptiness and shame. Steven aims to adapt the way he works to each person's needs.

His areas of focus include stress, LGBT matters, relationship worries, career concerns, grief, self-esteem and mood disorders. He speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom, holding BACP registration as a counsellor.

How Client-Centred Therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience and pace. The counsellor offers attentive listening, reflection and acceptance so the client can explore feelings and decide what matters most. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, identity questions and issues that feel hard to name.

Steven also uses elements of transactional analysis and Gestalt work when they suit a person's needs. Transactional analysis can help identify repetitive relationship patterns and unhelpful self-talk. Gestalt work can bring clarity to present-moment feelings and unfinished emotional business.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. He will aim to understand your goals and preferences and then agree a way of working together. That collaboration helps shape whether to use person-centred listening alone or to add other methods over time.

Session practicalities should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific online formats. Ask about the available session types when you arrange a time. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
