About Stephen
Counsellor Stephen Davis is a BACP member with 10 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He works with relationship problems, self esteem, career decisions, stress and anxiety, and a wide range of other life difficulties listed in his profile. Stephen uses an integrative style that draws on different methods depending on what a person needs.
He often uses cognitive and behavioural ideas to help make thoughts and actions easier to understand. He also draws on psychodynamic and existential thinking to look at meaning, patterns from the past, and how these show up now. Motivational Interviewing tools are used when people want practical help to change a specific behaviour or reach a goal.
Sessions are conversational and focused on what is most important to the person. He offers coaching-style support when clients want help building confidence, tackling career steps, or coping with big life changes. He also works with issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and long-term health or caregiving stress.
Stephen aims to help people untangle confusing feelings and build clearer choices. He uses short, practical exercises alongside space to talk things through. Where needed he helps people explore deeper patterns that affect relationships and self worth.
People who contact him complete a brief matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not take international clients.
How Stephen uses CBT and existential work online
Two of the main approaches he uses are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Existential Therapy. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and mood problems. Existential work looks at meaning, values and life choices and can help when someone is questioning purpose or feeling stuck.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change a specific behaviour. That approach uses structured questions and goal-focused conversation to build motivation and small plans for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need less bandwidth for calls.
