Steven Manfredi , BACP

Steven Manfredi became a therapist after experiencing the positive impact of therapy in his own life and deciding to train to offer that same support to others. He draws on that personal insight to make the first steps toward help feel more approachable for people who may be hesitant or unsure.

He works from a person-centered stance, placing the client at the heart of the work and focusing on the issues that matter most to them. Steven offers a nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about the challenges they face and explore new ways of coping. He aims to help clients understand their feelings, identify practical steps forward, and build resilience, confidence, and self-esteem.

Steven is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and practises in the United Kingdom. He has four years of professional experience and hundreds of hours of client work supporting people with stress, anxiety and panic attacks, family and relationship conflicts, grief and loss, depression, and work or career difficulties. He also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and a range of life changes and attachment or abandonment difficulties.

He approaches each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, tailoring the therapeutic process to meet individual needs. Steven aims to support and empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Steven integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive and empathic environment where the client leads the pace and direction of the work. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding, self-esteem, and trust within relationships. He also draws on mindfulness therapy, teaching practices that help people observe thoughts and emotions with greater calm and clarity - approaches that can reduce reactivity and support coping with anxiety and stress. In addition, Steven uses solution-focused therapy to identify practical, achievable steps toward clients' goals, concentrating on strengths and what is working well to generate positive change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Steven works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the work as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy with Steven is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and they allow therapy to continue even when in-person meetings are not practical.
