Steven Eveleigh
A calm, person-centred counsellor
About Steven
Steven Eveleigh is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space for someone to talk through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, or questions about sexuality and identity. He left a high-pressure career in London banking and retrained as a counsellor after moving to the south coast.
That career change came from wanting work that felt meaningful and useful to other people.
Background and approach
Steven has six years of professional practice since qualifying as a BACP counsellor. Sessions are shaped around the person in the room. Steven practises client-centred therapy, which means he listens closely and follows what matters most to each individual.
He aims to help people understand their feelings, strengthen self-esteem, and make clearer choices in work and relationships. Steven has worked with a wide range of concerns including workplace stress, depression, grief, sexuality and LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, and HIV/AIDS related matters. He also supports people facing emptiness, mood disorders and career uncertainty.
In sessions he focuses on building a trusted, collaborative relationship. He offers practical conversation and reflective listening so clients can explore beliefs and feelings at their own pace. The approach is patient and straightforward, helping people find small, manageable steps forward.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and reflection while the client steers the conversation. This approach is helpful for concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and identity questions because it supports people to find their own answers.Steven may also draw on related humanistic ideas when helpful, using ways of working that encourage self-awareness and personal growth. These approaches aim to help people recognise patterns in feelings and behaviour and to build confidence in making different choices.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will adapt the style over time to suit what is most useful for the client.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler if you prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and travel.
