Stephanie Weatherley, BACP
Compassionate integrative counsellor for everyday struggles
Book with StephanieAbout Stephanie
Stephanie Weatherley is a BACP counsellor who offers warm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and related concerns. She presents as approachable and slightly quirky, and places connection and trust at the heart of therapy. She uses an integrative counselling approach that centres the person in the room.
That means sessions mainly follow a person-centred way of working while drawing on other techniques as needed to help clients talk through worries and make practical changes.
Background and approach
Stephanie has three years' experience and a background in charity support work. That experience included helpline support and direct counselling, which she says helped her develop skills for working with a wide range of people and situations. She describes practical work in sessions such as identifying issues, looking at small steps and changing unhelpful thinking or behaviour.
She also names tools used for trauma-related difficulties, such as grounding, visualisation and methods to ease panic and dissociation. Stephanie notes specific experience with ADHD and autism and adapts sessions to a person's needs, for example with time-management strategies and attention-friendly ways of working.
She also aims to support people who identify as LGBT and those coping with isolation, grief, shame or relationship breakdown. People who prefer a supportive, conversational style and practical problem-solving may find her approach helpful. To begin, readers should use the site matching process to connect with her and arrange sessions according to available times.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Stephanie describes an integrative model that mainly follows a person-centred stance while drawing on other evidence-based techniques. Person-centred work involves active listening, reflective questions and a focus on the person's own pace and goals; it helps when someone wants space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural elements focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. These practical steps are useful for stress, panic and depressive thinking.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist and client will decide together which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress is made. This collaborative way helps tailor sessions to how an individual learns and copes.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into daily life because it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and make it simpler to continue when relocating internationally. Online sessions can also make it straightforward to use visual tools and worksheets during the meeting to support practical skill-building and coping strategies.
