About Steven
Steven Eveleigh is a BACP counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and LGBT-related concerns. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly and feel heard. Steven often works with issues like grief, low self-esteem and workplace strain.
He also supports people facing questions about gender, sexuality and HIV / AIDS. Steven trained after leaving a fast-paced finance career and found counselling suited him naturally.
How Steven works
He has six years of experience and keeps learning to better understand himself and others. His background in high-pressure workplaces informs how he notices stress and career-related pressure in sessions. He practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions are led by the client’s concerns rather than a fixed agenda.
Steven aims to reflect what clients say, help them clarify feelings, and support them to make their own decisions. He values a collaborative relationship and encourages clients to take an active role in their work together. In practical terms, Steven can talk through loss, relationship questions, guilt and shame, emptiness, mood difficulties and workplace issues.
He also offers help around gender dysphoria and sexuality in a respectful way. Sessions are directed by what the client feels is most important. Steven describes his style as down-to-earth and peaceful.
He focuses on listening without judgement and on validating what people bring into sessions. The emphasis is on helping clients find clearer ways forward at a pace that suits them.

Online support options
Client-led counselling online and how it helps
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the client’s lead. The counsellor offers active listening and reflection so the person can explore feelings and make their own choices. This approach suits issues like anxiety, depression, identity questions and grief where people need space to find clarity.Steven also draws on his experience with workplace stress and career concerns to notice patterns that might be influencing how someone feels. That practical perspective can help when sessions are about balancing work pressures, exhaustion or career decisions. When questions around gender dysphoria, sexuality or HIV / AIDS arise, the emphasis is on respectful listening and supporting the client’s sense of self.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide how sessions should be structured and which methods feel most helpful for their goals. Together they explore what works and adjust as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, while live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments and to keep continuity between sessions.
