About Stacey
Stacey Coombes is an NCPS counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem and depression, along with trauma, grief and parenting concerns. Stacey also supports people facing intimacy or eating issues and those coping with life changes such as separation or career shifts.
She uses practical, talk-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on clear steps and achievable tasks rather than abstract theory. Stacey draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-informed work to address how patterns began and what keeps them going.
Her style combines client-centred listening with structured tools. That might mean setting small behavioural experiments, practising different ways of talking about feelings, or looking at the beliefs that drive impulsive acts. She also uses emotion-focused techniques for relationship and intimacy issues to help identify and name feelings more clearly.
Stacey has experience with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, postpartum depression, veteran and armed forces issues, and the effects of domestic violence. She notes attention to body image, shame and guilt, and struggles with control and isolation as common themes she helps people work through.
Sessions are offered in English and operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
How Stacey’s approaches translate to online sessions
Stacey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns and try small, practical changes. CBT sessions usually involve agreed tasks between meetings and reviewing what worked or didn’t work.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values. That approach supports coping with ongoing stress and life transitions. Attachment-based work is used when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current interactions; it focuses on recognising patterns in how people connect and react.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Stacey will discuss the options with each person and together they will decide which techniques suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the profile does not list formats. Ask about which online formats are offered and what fits your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements at the first appointment.
