Mitchell Stevens , BACP

Mitchell Stevens is a fully qualified counsellor and therapist who is a full member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). As a member of this professional body he works to its ethical framework and also serves as a supervisor with The Forward Trust, a nationwide UK organisation. He has professional experience supporting both adults and teenagers across a range of settings.

Mitchell has worked in the voluntary sector with Change, Grow & Live and The Forward Trust, providing support to people affected by homelessness, addiction, and poor mental health. He has also provided community counselling through Ashford Counselling Service and Kent Counsellors, developing practical experience in local services and community-focused care.

He offers online counselling to English-speaking adults aged 18 and over and works with a broad spectrum of emotional and psychological difficulties. His practice includes support for anxiety, depression, addiction, borderline and narcissistic personality issues, relationship and family problems, midlife crisis, divorce, bereavement and other forms of loss, low self-esteem, trauma-related dissociation, identity and sexual orientation concerns, and related challenges.

Mitchell’s pathway into therapy combined personal and professional growth. Through his own therapy he learned new ways of relating to himself and others, and that experience informed his decision to train and qualify as a counsellor and therapist. He also draws on life experience with family complexities, stepfamily dynamics, and many years working in the music industry as a musician, writer, producer, and sound engineer. He describes his style as down-to-earth, including laughter and frank language, and presents himself as a genuine human presence in therapeutic work.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and encourages action guided by personal values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and difficulties where changing emotional responses is part of the goal.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It supports exploration of attachment issues, abandonment, and relationship difficulties by strengthening healthier connections and understanding emotional responses.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic way of working where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed growth. This approach can help with self-esteem, identity concerns, and building confidence to cope with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mitchell Stevens works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access support from different locations, fit therapy around work and family life, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and tailor sessions to individual circumstances.
