About Stephanie
Stephanie Cartwright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief and anger. Many clients come with questions about confidence, intimacy, sleep or coping after loss. Sessions are practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
Stephanie draws on client-centred, cognitive behavioural and solution-focused approaches to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She often sets simple, doable priorities between sessions so clients can practise new thinking and behaviour. That practical work is intended to make everyday life feel more manageable.
Her background includes work in a hospice setting supporting people with terminal and non-terminal diagnoses and their carers. That experience informs how she supports grief, end-of-life concerns and the complexities that follow bereavement.
She also helps people rebuild self-esteem and confidence after relationship breakdowns, manage anger and work through intimacy-related worries. Sessions aim to be focused and time-efficient, concentrating on the changes the client wants to see.
Stephanie describes wellbeing as involving mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects. She uses that whole-person perspective to help people link thinking and behaviour with practical steps. If someone wants change, she works with them on thinking and actions that support it.
How Stephanie works online with CBT and client-centred tools
Stephanie uses client-centred work to listen to what matters most to the person and to help them identify their own strengths. This approach focuses on the person's concerns and priorities, and helps set goals that feel practical and relevant.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking and to test new ways of behaving. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or confidence because it links thoughts, feelings and actions in clear steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stephanie will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts what happens in sessions based on progress and feedback. That collaborative planning helps make each session useful for day-to-day life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. One practical benefit of remote sessions is they can fit around work, study or caring responsibilities and make it easier to keep appointments. Remote work can also allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or a session without video when bandwidth is an issue. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often find these small adjustments help people maintain steady progress without disrupting daily routines.
