About Mitchell

Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience and full membership of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He offers online counselling in English to adults aged 18 and over. He lists stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, bipolar, ADHD and related concerns among his areas of focus.

He began this work after his own therapy led to changes in how he thinks and acts. That experience shaped his practical approach. He shows clients straightforward ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions are direct and grounded in everyday life rather than abstract theory.

Mitchell has worked in the voluntary sector with Change, Grow & Live and The Forward Trust across the UK. He has supported people facing homelessness, addiction and poor mental health. He has also worked in community counselling with Ashford Counselling Service and Kent Counsellors.

He has particular experience with family and stepfamily dynamics and brings lived insight from parenting and a background in the music industry. That background informs how he relates to creativity and work-related pressures.

Mitchell says he uses a mix of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centred ways of working and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). He works collaboratively to set practical goals and test what helps in day-to-day life.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and cost varies with location.

How Mitchell uses CBT, ACT and attachment work online

Mitchell lists Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) among his approaches. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to test different ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and practical problem solving.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. That approach can help when people want to reduce avoidance and improve meaningful activity.

Attachment-based work explores patterns in relationships that started in early life and how they show up now. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and try different responses.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Mitchell will talk through goals and try ways of working that match what someone wants to change. He adapts methods from CBT, ACT and attachment work over a few sessions to see what fits and what produces useful change.

The profile specifies online counselling as the offered format, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and caring responsibilities, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pacing and homework to suit a person's daily routine.
