About Mitchell
Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor with 12 years of experience and a full member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He offers online counselling in English for adults aged 18 and over. He draws on personal experience and professional practice to help people facing a wide range of problems.
Mitchell began this work after addressing his own childhood difficulties through therapy. That personal journey shaped his approach and led him to train as a counsellor.
How Mitchell works
He has substantial experience in the voluntary sector, including roles with nationwide UK organisations supporting people affected by homelessness, addiction and mental health problems. He has also contributed in community counselling settings and worked as a supervisor with a national organisation. Those roles gave him practical skills in supporting people through loss, relationship strain, addictive behaviours and identity issues.
He also brings insight into stepfamily dynamics and blended family life. Sessions are straightforward and human. Mitchell aims to be down-to-earth, warm and direct.
He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods alongside client-centred and dialectical work to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Common concerns he addresses include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD and eating or sleeping problems.
He also works with people exploring sexual orientation and identity and those dealing with career or parenting strain. Mitchell offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. International clients in English are accepted and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages values-based action so someone can move toward the life they want despite hard emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and gives practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleeping problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and emotional responses and can help people improve how they relate to others and manage strong feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mitchell treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods might fit a person's goals, needs and preferences. He adapts techniques over time rather than sticking to a single model, so sessions change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for short check-ins, quick skills practice or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to maintain continuity across locations.
