About Stephanie
Stephanie Cartwright is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, career questions and coping with life changes.
She keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to change. Conversations identify specific thoughts and habits that get in the way. Practical tasks and short priorities between sessions are a common feature so people can try new ways of responding in everyday life.
Stephanie uses a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centred ideas and solution-focused techniques. That mix means sessions emphasise noticing unhelpful thinking, testing different responses and building simple skills to manage difficult feelings. Mindfulness practices are sometimes used to support calmer attention and repeatable routines.
She has worked in a hospice setting supporting people with terminal and non-terminal diagnoses and their carers. That experience informs how she approaches grief, bereavement and end-of-life conversations, including balancing practical decisions with emotional responses.
Sessions tend to aim for measurable, short-term progress while also attending to wider wellbeing. Stephanie encourages people to practise small changes between meetings and to review what works. The focus is on clearer thinking, steadier responses and usable tools that fit everyday life.
How CBT, person-centred work and mindfulness fit into online sessions
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on noticing specific thoughts, testing new responses and setting short practical tasks to try between meetings.She also draws on client-centred principles that prioritise the person's own concerns and pace. That approach means the counsellor listens for what matters most and follows the client's priorities while suggesting small, concrete steps. Mindfulness practices may be introduced to support attention and reduce reactivity, using brief exercises people can repeat at home.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt methods as work progresses. This means agreeing on tasks, checking how they fit daily life and adjusting if something is not helpful.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you are unsure which session formats are available, confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to keep regular meetings and practise between sessions, which supports steady progress over time.
