About Steven
Steven Eveleigh is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people feeling stuck, anxious or low. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through worries about stress, relationships, grief, sexuality and career concerns. Steven started counselling after a career in investment banking and finds this work much more meaningful.
He trained as a counsellor and has practised for six years. His background gives him insight into workplace stress and the pressure of fast-paced jobs. He often works with people dealing with depression, low self-esteem, bereavement and issues related to sexual identity.
Steven uses a person-centred approach, which means sessions follow what matters most to the person in front of him. He aims to listen closely, reflect what he hears and help people make sense of their feelings. The focus is on helping people find their own answers rather than imposing solutions.
When it helps, Steven draws on other approaches such as transactional analysis and Gestalt therapy to support the work. He and the client agree together on which methods suit the situation. This tailored way of working keeps the sessions practical and grounded.
People describing difficult emotions like emptiness, guilt, shame or mood changes can explore these safely with Steven. He also has experience supporting people living with HIV and those navigating gender dysphoria. The emphasis is on steady, collaborative work that aims to clarify feelings and identify steps forward.
Person-centred work and online delivery
Steven primarily works in a person-centred way, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and the emotional effects of workplace stress because it follows what the person wants to address.He also uses elements of transactional analysis and Gestalt therapy when appropriate. Transactional analysis can help people understand patterns in relationships and communication. Gestalt techniques can bring awareness to current feelings and bodily experience to clarify what matters in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt the way sessions are run accordingly. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. Other practical benefits include being able to join from different locations and choosing quieter surroundings that suit you.
