Stephanie Boosey, NCPS

Stephanie Boosey welcomes people who are feeling stuck by stress, grief, anxiety or the aftermath of traumatic experiences. She offers calm, straightforward counselling aimed at helping clients name what is happening and work out practical next steps. Sessions focus on what the client needs now and on small changes that make day-to-day life easier.

Stephanie uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s experience at the heart of each session. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on mindfulness practices to help people notice and manage strong emotions. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is also part of her toolkit for processing distressing memories.

Her biography notes long experience supporting adults and young people, and she has worked with a wide range of life challenges. That practical background shapes a direct, compassionate style in sessions. Clients are invited to reflect, try new coping strategies, and set achievable goals for change.

Stephanie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for both the conscious story and the less obvious patterns that keep problems repeating, and she offers tools that people can use outside sessions. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People often bring issues such as low self-esteem, relationship problems, addiction, sleep difficulties, parenting stresses, or chronic health concerns. The counselling is intended to help people process these problems, reduce their impact, and work towards clearer ways of living and relating to themselves and others.

How Stephanie uses therapeutic approaches online

Stephanie often blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and EMDR. Person-centred or client-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the client to find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs space to talk things through and feel heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and can be used when traumatic experiences continue to cause intense reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss how these methods might fit the client’s needs and preferences, and they will agree a plan as a collaborative process rather than imposing a single technique.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, making shorter check-ins possible during a busy day, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and CBT tasks to an online setting so people can use tools between sessions and track progress over time.
