About Stephanie

Stephanie Cartwright is a counsellor who uses a mix of person-centred, cognitive-behavioural and solution-focused ways of working. She aims to help people make practical changes that ease stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Her style is direct and goal-focused so sessions move towards clear priorities.

She has eight years' experience and has supported people from many backgrounds. That includes work in a hospice setting with people facing terminal and non-terminal diagnoses, and with carers adjusting to life changes. She also helps with bereavement and grief alongside practical coping skills.

Sessions concentrate on what matters most to the individual. Stephanie encourages small, achievable steps between meetings so new habits and ways of thinking become part of daily life. Clients may be given short tasks to try between sessions to build confidence and momentum.

Her approach draws on mindfulness techniques to help notice unhelpful thoughts and on cognitive-behavioural ideas to change patterns that keep people stuck. Solution-focused work narrows in on what's already working and expands it. The person-centred element keeps the conversation grounded in the client’s experience.

She considers mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing together, treating them as linked. That means conversations may cover practical routines, emotional reactions and personal values. If someone wants clear, practical steps for moving forward, this is the kind of approach she offers.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Stephanie uses client-centred work to keep sessions focused on what the person wants to achieve, listening closely and adapting each conversation to the individual's needs. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and gives practical strategies to test and change them. Mindfulness techniques are used to help notice thoughts and bodily reactions and to build steadier attention in everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Stephanie will discuss options with each person, try things out and adjust methods based on what helps most. The aim is to work together to find a way of working that fits the client's goals and preferences.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows for flexible scheduling, shorter check-ins when needed, and exercises to practise between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
