About Stephanie

Stephanie Wood is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feel steadier when life gets hard. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, parenting strain, and trauma among other concerns. Sessions are calm and led by what the client needs in the moment.

Stephanie aims to help people notice what matters and make small, manageable changes. She uses a person-centred approach, which means she listens without judging and supports each person to find their own answers.

Background and approach

Conversations are not about being told what to do but about reflecting on feelings and choices. This style suits people who want space to think things through and build confidence. Stephanie trained through a three-year course and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her earlier career in the performing arts shaped her communication skills and empathy, which she brings into sessions. Her experience includes voluntary roles with local charities and work in a rural GP practice, where she supported people with a wide range of needs.

That background helped her learn practical ways to help clients cope day to day and manage difficult emotions. Sessions can address issues such as addiction, low self-esteem, life changes, career worries, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Stephanie aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can explore what they want to change and how to move forward.

Ways of working Stephanie names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the client find their own solutions. Sessions aim to make space for honest reflection, which can help with anxiety, grief, relationship worries and trauma responses. This approach is gentle and driven by what the person brings to each meeting.

Finding the right way of working is usually a gradual, collaborative process. The therapist will check in about what feels helpful and adapt the approach to match goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try next and review whether it is working for the client.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues when needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter, more frequent contact or when writing helps to organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and other daily demands, while still keeping the same person-centred focus.
