Steven Eveleigh

Steven Eveleigh is a BACP registered counsellor (registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) practising in the United Kingdom with 6 years of professional experience. He trained as a counsellor after a previous career in the financial sector and now focuses on offering therapeutic support across a range of life challenges.

Before qualifying he worked for investment banks in London, leading a fast-paced and ultimately unsatisfying lifestyle. He later moved to Bournemouth, Dorset for a similar role, and after reaching a point of unhappiness he began training to become a counsellor. The change felt immediately right and more natural than other work he had done.

Since qualifying, Steven has relished working with clients and has committed to expanding his understanding of himself and others in order to provide thoughtful, effective counselling. He works with issues ranging from workplace difficulties to bereavement and LGB concerns, and his practice covers areas such as depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, stress, anxiety, grief, and career-related matters.

Steven offers a peaceful, down-to-earth, non-judgmental space where people can speak openly about sensitive subjects and begin to find a better place. As a person-centred counsellor he lets sessions be led by the client, creating the conditions to explore feelings and validate experience while encouraging an active, collaborative approach to counselling. When appropriate, he can integrate other approaches such as transactional analysis or Gestalt therapy to tailor the way of working to each person’s needs.
