About me

I am a Counsellor based in the UK, with extensive experience working with individuals ready to make positive change in their life. My clients come from very diverse backgrounds and include professionals, stay at home mums and students with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bereavement and relationship problems, in particular that question of "what else can I try on my own?" and "is it me?" I also have experience in helping you rebuild your self esteem, improve self confidence after a relationship break up, or unhappy partnership.

I have worked within a Hospice setting supporting clients with terminal and non terminal diagnosis, their carers coming to terms with the resulting changes in their loved ones as well as supporting the balance between moving forward when grief and bereavement wants life to stand still.

My practice has evolved to aim for quick results . Our sessions will be focused on your priorities and meet your unique and specific needs.

My approach combines person centred, cognitive-behavioral and solution focused therapy. This means that I am a therapist that knows you have all the skills inside you, we just have to find them so you can use them every day. My objective is to give you the tools to help you feel more in control, focused and empowered between sessions so that you can start to integrate changes in your life and start living the life you want. If you want to make change, you have to change the way you are thinking or behaving, so between sessions clients often are given priorities to focus on.

I have developed my techniques over eight years to include mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing, viewing your whole body as an integrated system.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Stephanie Cartwright. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Stephanie is simply outstanding. Empathetic, patient, knowledgable, helpful and an incredible listener. She clearly has a lot of experience which she applies to our sessions with the utmost care. Her advice has helped turn multiple insurmountable complexities into smaller ones that are far easier to navigate. Simply wonderful. Unreservedly recommended to all - particularly to veterans with even the largest of “black dogs” circling. Any veterans that read this - Stephanie can provide a light to guide you through the very darkest of times.

Very intuitive and thoughtful. Understands what I have been feeling as is able to explain it to me in a way I have understood as I am not always able to express my own feelings

I have had my first few sessions with Stephanie, and they have been really fantastic. She has been able to articulate my feelings and experiences back to me in a way I have not had before. She really allows for a space to talk while also offering reflection. Would highly recommend.

Stephanie is just wonderful. I have felt heard, validated and appropriately challenged! I WILL be back but just taking a brief financial break for now. I cannot thank Stephanie enough for being there - my reduced anxiety scores speak for themselves x

Stephanie has been a godsend! She has supported me through such a difficult time (turbulent break up after 24 years) and given me the tools to break patterns, understand them and be strong enough to move forward.

Stephanie is a fantastic listener and offers her thoughts in a way that has given me the space to reflect and plan the action I need to take to be ok.

I have really felt that Stephanie cares and the check-in messages, sent at just the right times somehow, have been both lovely and a huge help!

Thank you so much Stephanie x
