How Stacey works
Stacey draws on approaches that focus on values, emotions, and attachment to tailor the work to each person. Over ten years she has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression and mood disorders, as well as those facing grief, trauma and abuse.

Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and then shown how to book sessions.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with practical steps and compassionate listening along the way.

Online support options
How Stacey’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while allowing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings to be present. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repeating cycles that affect trust and closeness. It can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems and attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and working at the client’s pace; it helps people feel understood and build self-trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will discuss goals, preferences and how each method might help, then adapt the focus as the relationship develops. That collaborative planning means the approach can change over time to match what is most useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messages or live chat allow shorter check-ins or flexible timing. These options aim to make therapy fit around childcare, work breaks and busy days while keeping the focus on practical progress.
