About Mitchell
Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist with twelve years' experience and full membership of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He offers online work to English-speaking adults and brings practical life experience to sessions. His background includes roles supporting people affected by homelessness, addiction, and poor mental health across nationwide UK services.
Mitchell uses straightforward, down-to-earth language in the room. He draws on his own recovery and personal therapy experience to relate to people honestly.
Background and approach
He aims to help clients find ways to think and act that improve day-to-day life and relationships. He has worked for voluntary organisations including Change, Grow & Live and The Forward Trust, and in community counselling with Ashford Counselling Service and Kent Counsellors. That history means he is familiar with practical problems such as housing crisis, addiction and the stresses that follow.
Mitchell sees a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem and eating or sleeping problems. He also lists working with identity and sexual orientation, parenting pressures, ADHD and bipolar-related concerns.
His approach blends therapies such as Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Sessions tend to be conversational and grounded, with attention to feelings, patterns and practical steps that fit the client’s life. Outside clinical work he has a background in the music industry and brings that creative outlook into therapy.
He describes himself as candid and human, aiming to make sessions supportive but realistic.

How Mitchell’s approaches translate to online therapy
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people understand and reduce the impact of traumatic experiences. It focuses on safe, paced ways to make sense of distressing memories and the feelings that follow. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to commit to actions that fit personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mitchell will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. That selection is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to better fit what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and practical needs.
