About Steven
Counsellor Steven Hall is a BACP member with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and relationship and intimacy-related issues among other concerns. Steven works in English and aims to make initial contact straightforward for people thinking about counselling.
He offers a direct, conversational approach in sessions. He listens to the difficulties a person brings and helps them name what is happening. He uses practical tools and discussion to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices about next steps.
Steven draws on a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, and attachment-based thinking. He explains options and tries different methods to see what fits the person’s needs. Work may include noticing patterns, trying new behaviour, and learning ways to cope with distress.
Sessions are intended to help with life changes, parenting strain, work stress, sleep and eating concerns, and mood differences such as depression or bipolar symptoms. He also supports people dealing with identity and relationship questions, grief, and long-term health or caring pressures.
Before a first meeting he asks people to complete a short questionnaire so he can understand their priorities. He uses that information to plan the first session and agree the focus. Fees vary with location and he uses a subscription payment that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them. It focuses on choosing actions that matter despite difficult emotions, and can help with anxiety, stress and coping with long-term issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and compulsive habits. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns learned early in life and how these affect current relationships and trust; it can help with intimacy and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about what feels most useful and try approaches together. Decisions about methods come from the client's goals, lived experience and preferences, not from a fixed protocol.
The biography does not list exact session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or medical commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity of care and keep therapy within everyday life.
