About Stephanie
Stephanie Boosey offers practical, compassionate counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and many other life challenges. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what is worrying them and take clear steps forward. Her approach is warm and collaborative.
Sessions focus on understanding the feelings and patterns that cause distress, and on finding small, manageable ways to cope day to day. She uses a mix of talking, guided exercises and gentle techniques tailored to each person.
How Stephanie works
Stephanie is registered as NCPS and brings six years of contemporary practice in the United Kingdom. She works with common problems such as low mood, grief, anger and relationship strain, and also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions and neurodiversity-related concerns. She draws on several therapeutic styles including attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness.
Where trauma is involved she may use EMDR alongside other methods to help process painful memories. Sessions can cover practical life issues too, such as parenting pressures, career stress and the emotional impact of chronic illness. The aim is to help people build skills they can use between sessions and to discover more helpful ways of thinking and coping.
Stephanie welcomes people who prefer online support and those seeking flexible formats. She works in English and accepts clients living outside the UK, adapting the work to each person’s situation and goals.

Online support options
Approaches used online and how they help
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection issues, trust and emotional reactions in close relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports the processing of distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming over time.Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work together with the client to choose what fits best. Treatment plans are collaborative and can change as goals evolve, with methods adjusted to what feels most helpful for each person.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
