Stephanie Cartwright, BACP

Stephanie Cartwright is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience supporting people ready to make positive change in their lives. She works with clients from varied backgrounds, including professionals, stay-at-home parents, and students, addressing difficulties such as depression, anxiety, bereavement and relationship problems, and the recurring questions of "what else can I try on my own?" and "is it me?".

She has particular experience helping people rebuild self-esteem and confidence following breakups or during unhappy partnerships, and has worked in a hospice setting supporting people with terminal and non-terminal diagnoses as well as their carers as they adjust to changing roles and grief. Her practice focuses on practical, goal-oriented work so that sessions concentrate on the priorities most important to each person.

Her clinical approach blends person-centred work, cognitive behavioural methods and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify and use their existing strengths and to build everyday skills. Between sessions she commonly sets priorities or tasks so clients can practise new ways of thinking and behaving and begin to integrate changes into daily life. Over eight years she has developed techniques that consider mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing as parts of an integrated whole.

Stephanie holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional standards in counselling practice. She is not currently accepting new clients.
