About Stephanie

Stephanie Viggars works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and other life pressures. She helps people talk through grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep problems and career worries. Stephanie is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of experience.

She uses straightforward talking therapy to help people identify patterns and find clearer ways of coping. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical steps to try between meetings. Stephanie aims to make discussions direct and easy to follow, using everyday language rather than clinical terms.

Her work covers a broad range of issues including anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to ADHD. She also supports people with attachment and communication difficulties, commitment and jealousy concerns, and those navigating non-monogamous relationships.

Stephanie has worked with clients on pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum matters, seasonal mood changes, self-harm thoughts, sexual identity and young adult issues. She will listen to the problem, outline possible ways of working, and agree on a simple plan together.

Sessions are practical and organised. People can expect clear goals, regular check-ins on progress and suggestions for small tasks to try between sessions. The emphasis is on making counselling fit into everyday life and on steady, manageable change.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present difficulties and practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative ways of thinking and acting; this can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach centres on understanding attachment and relationship patterns, which can help with intimacy, communication and commitment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will discuss options, test what feels helpful and adjust methods according to the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the method can evolve as sessions continue.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity when life is changing. It can be useful when quieter surroundings are needed, when a shorter check-in is helpful, or when avoiding travel makes regular sessions more practical. Please confirm the current session formats with the service before booking so you know exactly how a session will be run.
