About Steven

Steven Manfredi trained as a therapist after experiencing therapy himself and seeing how it can change a life. He holds a BACP credential and has four years of professional experience offering one-to-one support. Steven aims to make the first step easier for people who feel unsure about seeking help.

He works in a respectful, non-judgemental way and focuses on what matters most to the individual. Steven uses a person-centred approach that places the client at the centre of each session.

Background and approach

He listens closely and helps people talk through stress, anxiety, grief and depression. He also supports those facing relationship strains, family problems and work or career concerns. Sessions are shaped around the person’s goals rather than a fixed programme.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help people manage strong emotions and reduce repeated worry. Solution-focused strategies are offered to identify practical steps and build confidence between sessions. Together these methods help with coping during life changes and improving day-to-day functioning.

Steven also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, anger and self-esteem. He has experience supporting people exploring identity and LGBT concerns, as well as those affected by chronic illness, bereavement or separation. He aims to help people build resilience and clearer self-understanding.

Sessions are available in English and delivered remotely by video, phone, chat or messaging. Steven practices in the United Kingdom and tailors the pace and focus to each person’s needs and preferences.

How his approaches work online

Steven blends person-centred care, mindfulness and solution-focused methods into online work so sessions remain practical and grounded. Client-centred therapy means the conversation follows what matters most to the person, with the counsellor listening and reflecting rather than directing the process. This approach helps people feel heard and make sense of their feelings.

Mindfulness involves simple attention practices and grounding exercises to reduce anxiety and manage intense emotions. These techniques can be shown and practiced during video calls and adapted for phone or messaging formats. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps and tracking progress between sessions to build confidence and momentum.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That plan can change as progress is made so the work stays relevant to the person’s life.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of breathing or grounding exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
