Stephen Padfield is a pluralistic therapist who trained in a range of therapeutic approaches, believing that different methods are useful for different concerns and stages of life. He places the client-therapist relationship at the centre of the counselling process and seeks to offer a non-judgemental, supportive environment for exploring personal challenges.
He has worked with teenagers and adults of all ages across areas including bereavement, spirituality, sexuality, gender issues, depression, trauma and anxiety. He is also trained in mindfulness and provides practical in-the-moment techniques that draw on meditation and polyvagal theory.
Stephen values an existential perspective that considers the person as a whole and pays attention to physical, social, personal and spiritual dimensions of life. He recently completed a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy, reflecting postgraduate training in the field.
Many people ask whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
An important practical advantage is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
Therapy online is provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and if a different match is needed it is possible to switch to another therapist at any time.
