About Stephanie
Stephanie Cartwright is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines practical therapy with clear goals. She focuses on helping people make change, regain confidence and manage worries that stop them moving forward. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
Stephanie also supports people facing grief, intimacy-related problems, trauma and caring for someone at the end of life. She often helps clients who are asking "what else can I try on my own?"
How Stephanie works
or "is it me?". Her way of working draws on client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas. Sessions are directed by the client's priorities and aim for achievable steps that can be practised between meetings.
Homework or short tasks are often suggested to help new ways of thinking and behaving take hold. Stephanie has eight years' experience and has worked in hospice settings supporting people with terminal and non-terminal diagnoses and their carers. That background informs her approach to grief, bereavement and end-of-life concerns and how people balance moving forward with strong emotions.
She treats emotional and practical aspects together, considering mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing. The aim is to give people tools to feel more in control, more focused and able to integrate changes into everyday life.

How Stephanie’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, helping them feel heard and clearer about their own choices. This approach suits people who need space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It breaks problems into small, changeable steps and is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means plans can be adapted as progress is made.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, follow-ups or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or other commitments.
