Mitchell Stevens
Straightforward, experienced online counsellor
About Mitchell
Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist with 12 years of clinical experience and full membership of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He offers online counselling in English and sees adults aged 18 and over. His background combines voluntary sector work and community counselling across the United Kingdom.
Mitchell spent much of his career supporting people affected by homelessness, addiction and poor mental health. He has worked with nationwide UK organisations and community counselling services, bringing that experience into his online practice.
Background and approach
He also acts as a supervisor with The Forward Trust. Clients can expect a down-to-earth approach. He draws on therapies like cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking and elements of dialectical and client-centred work.
Sessions focus on practical ways to cope, small changes people can try, and clearer ways to understand difficult feelings. Mitchell’s own journey through therapy shaped his practice. He talks about how changing his patterns helped him become a better father, partner and friend.
That lived experience informs how he listens and responds in sessions, with honesty and a straightforward manner. He brings familiarity with family dynamics, blended families and creative work from a previous career in music. People who prefer a frank, humane style and practical steps to manage stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain may find his way of working helpful.

How these approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter most to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to fit what helps most.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone calls can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, mood tracking or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life for people living in different places or with busy schedules.
