Steven Price, BACP

Steven Price is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. He offers a respectful, sensitive approach and aims to support people who are facing hard moments in life. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and focuses on practical steps towards feeling steadier and more able to cope.

He works with stress and anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger. He also helps people dealing with addictions, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. LGBT issues and compassion fatigue are included among his regular focus areas.

Steven mixes different ways of working to suit each person. These include client-centred approaches that follow the person’s lead and cognitive behavioural techniques that look at thoughts and actions. He also draws on dialectical behaviour ideas and mindfulness tools when these match what someone needs.

In sessions he aims to listen without judgement and then help people make practical changes. He supports people to identify small steps, practise new skills and notice progress over time. That practical focus is balanced with attention to feelings and personal history.

He holds BACP as a professional credential, which reflects his standing in the UK counselling field. Sessions are offered in English and he is able to work with international clients.

How Steven’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what you say, asks gentle questions and helps you make sense of your experience. It is useful when someone needs empathy and space to talk through difficult feelings.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact. It uses clear steps and exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build different habits. This style is often chosen for anxiety, depression and stress because it gives practical tools to use between sessions.

Dialectical behaviour therapy ideas concentrate on emotional regulation and practical coping skills. These include ways to manage strong emotions, improve self-control and improve interpersonal effectiveness when feelings run high.

Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The counsellor will discuss your goals, life situation and what you prefer. Then he will suggest approaches to try and adapt them as you progress so the work stays relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practise techniques in everyday settings and to follow up between sessions.
