About Stephanie
Stephanie Wood is a person-centred counsellor who aims to make therapy feel straightforward and manageable. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, loss, relationship strain and parenting concerns. Sessions focus on listening closely so clients can find their own way forward at a comfortable pace.
Her counselling style is non-directive and collaborative. Rather than giving instructions, she reflects what she hears and helps clients notice patterns and choices.
Background and approach
This approach is useful for coping with life changes, self-esteem struggles, addiction concerns, grief and anger, among other issues. Stephanie trained in therapeutic counselling and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her background includes many years in performing arts and work in educational settings, which shaped her communication and empathy skills. She has volunteered in local charities and worked in a rural GP practice, gaining experience with a wide range of personal concerns. That practical experience informs how she works with people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by life events and transitions.
Clients can expect a steady, patient style that values their own views and goals. Stephanie listens for what matters most to each person and supports them to build insight, coping strategies and clearer direction over time.

Approaches Stephanie lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Client-centred therapy and online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on giving the client space to speak and be heard. The counsellor reflects feelings and helps the person notice options. This approach helps with anxiety, stress, parenting concerns and self-esteem by supporting people to find their own solutions.Stephanie uses a non-directive style that values the client’s perspective. She works collaboratively to identify goals and decide which ways of working fit best. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will discuss options based on your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are useful when a quieter space is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family life and travel, and help people keep regular contact when in-person sessions are difficult.
