About Steven

Steven Robison works with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self esteem and coping with life changes using a client-centred approach and other methods he describes from his training. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of professional experience.

Steven trained at The College of Holistic Medicine in Glasgow where he studied the Core Capacity Approach. That training combined client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and Gestalt-influenced practice over three years of intensive learning. He uses that background to focus on how people relate to themselves and others, and on practical steps they can try between sessions.

In sessions he helps people talk through stress, anxiety and difficulties with addiction and anger. He also supports people working on self esteem, motivation and major life changes. Conversations aim to identify patterns linked to attachment and past relationships, and to build small changes that feel manageable.

Steven also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, avoidant personality features, body image and caregiver stress. He has experience supporting people facing chronic pain, long-term illness or disability and those dealing with codependency, control issues and communication problems.

He describes his role as collaborative and practical. He encourages awareness, reflection and simple, evidence-informed techniques such as CBT and mindfulness exercises where these fit the person’s needs.

Sessions are offered in English and he practises in the United Kingdom. To start, clients use the website’s matching process to arrange a first meeting.

How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people who notice repeated issues with trust, closeness or fear of abandonment by exploring those patterns and their impact on present-day interactions.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person’s own perspective and pace. The counsellor listens without directing outcomes and supports the client to reflect, make sense of experiences and find their own solutions to problems such as low self esteem or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers straightforward techniques to test unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviours and reduce symptoms of anxiety or anger over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Steven will discuss different options and make decisions together based on the client’s situation, goals and preferences. The plan can change as work develops and priorities become clearer.

Confirm the exact session formats available before booking as these are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, save travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a session that fits a lunch break or other routine commitment.
