About Steven
Steven Hall is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. He focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and trauma. Steven aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy.
He keeps sessions straightforward and person-centred. Conversations are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
He draws on cognitive approaches and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. Attachment-informed work is part of his approach when emotions and relationship patterns are central. He also uses emotionally-focused techniques to help people name and work through painful feelings.
These methods are used flexibly alongside a client-centred stance that prioritises the person in the room. Steven helps people address a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career stress, parenting challenges, and LGBT-related issues. He also offers support for long-term conditions, caregiving strain, and overlapping difficulties such as co-morbidity and codependency.
Sessions are adapted to practical needs and personal preferences. Steven works with each person to agree goals and to build steps that feel doable. He aims for clear, compassionate dialogue and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress where avoidance has become a pattern. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing them through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with sleep problems, anxiety, low mood and some patterns of stress-related behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try different methods based on the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and treatment is adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video works well for real-time conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, written reflections or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while still using the approaches described above to address real concerns.
