About Steven

Steven Eveleigh works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulty, grief and issues linked to sexuality and gender, using a person-centred approach that lets the client lead sessions. He is a BACP counsellor and has six years' experience.

He moved from a fast-paced banking career to counselling after recognising it suited him better. That change informs his understanding of workplace strain and career-related stress. He trained to be a counsellor and now focuses on conversations that help people think through their feelings and choices.

In sessions he follows Client-Centred Therapy, which means he listens without directing and encourages clients to set the pace. He aims to create an environment where someone can talk about bereavement, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, or questions about sexuality and gender without interruption.

He also has additional experience with emptiness, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, HIV and AIDS, mood concerns and workplace issues. Where appropriate he may draw on approaches such as transactional analysis or Gestalt therapy to support the work agreed with the client.

Sessions are conversational and focused on the client’s priorities. He encourages people to explore feelings, thoughts and beliefs and to reflect on practical next steps. The emphasis is on collaborative discussion rather than the therapist directing outcomes.

How his person-centred approach translates to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting rather than directing. It helps when someone wants space to make sense of feelings about depression, grief, relationships or identity without the counsellor imposing solutions. Sessions are led by the client’s concerns and aim to help people clarify what matters to them.

He may also draw on transactional analysis or Gestalt ideas when they seem useful. Transactional analysis looks at patterns in how people relate to others, which can help with workplace and relationship issues. Gestalt work emphasises awareness in the here and now, which can help with strong emotions and self-understanding.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss aims, try different approaches if needed, and check in about what feels helpful so the client can shape sessions around their goals and preferences.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as these are not stated in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more regular check-ins where helpful. These practical benefits often help people maintain continuity while they explore their concerns.
