My name is Steve and I would love to meet you. I am a BACP-accredited Counsellor with over 15 years' experience of helping people in the UK, USA, Europe and Asia, who are trying to balance the stresses of work alongside challenges at home.
Do you work in a pressurised job? Do you find yourself getting overwhelmed, balancing your responsibilities inside and outside of work? If so, you have come to the right place.
I have experience in helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts and career difficulties. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
Alongside being a qualified Counsellor, I spent over 17 years in the busy business world of Recruitment, progressing to Managing Director of a successful staffing agency. As such, I understand what it is like to manage relentless pressure at work.
I am based in the UK and provide online counselling and mentoring, either inside or outside of your working hours, helping individuals across the UK, US and Europe.
I have a kind, understanding and down-to-earth approach and love helping people who are trying their best to keep on top of things and live a fulfilling life.
