Stephanie Cartwright
Practical, goal-focused counselling for life changes
About Stephanie
Stephanie Cartwright is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on eight years of experience to help people make practical changes in their lives. She uses straightforward, focused sessions to address issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement and relationship difficulties. Stephanie aims to support people who are asking "what else can I try on my own?"
or "is it me?" and to help them regain confidence and direction.
Background and approach
Her work often includes supporting those coping with grief and carers facing life changes after a serious illness, reflecting time spent in a hospice setting. She also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, anger, eating or sleeping problems, and career or life-purpose questions. Sessions are tailored to the individual and prioritise what matters to them right now.
Stephanie combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused approaches. That means she listens to what matters most, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and works with clients to set small, achievable goals. Between sessions people may be invited to try short exercises or focus areas to help build new habits.
Her practice treats emotional, mental and physical wellbeing as connected. She draws on simple mindfulness ideas and practical coping strategies so people feel more able to manage day-to-day life. The emphasis is on using everyday tools to bring steadier mood and clearer thinking.
Sessions are delivered in ways that suit modern life, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Stephanie is registered with the BACP and runs a practice that aims to get prompt, workable results for those ready to make a change.

How her approaches work online and why they help
Stephanie uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person, helping them feel understood and clearer about their priorities. This approach suits people who need a steady, empathetic space to untangle feelings and decide next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and practical problems because it breaks concerns into small, manageable steps and offers clear exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stephanie will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and daily life and then suggest ways of working together. That collaborative planning means the therapy can change as needs evolve and stay focused on what the person wants to achieve.
Online sessions can be carried out by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in without video, and messaging or chat can fit brief daily support or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or study commitments while using the same therapeutic tools as in-person work.
