About Stacey

Stacey Coombes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and the strain that comes from big life changes. She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, anger, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, and the challenges that follow childbirth such as postpartum depression.

Stacey uses a calm, non-judgemental manner to create a space where people can talk openly and feel heard.

Background and approach

She has ten years' experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Stacey uses an integrative style and draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions are conversational and practical; she listens for patterns and helps people try small changes that can make daily life easier.

In practice Stacey helps parents and individuals who are worried about family dynamics, attachment, communication problems, control issues, jealousy and isolation. She also supports people facing career stress, mood disorders, bipolar challenges, and recovery after domestic violence or separation. Her work often includes exploring guilt, shame and forgiveness when these issues are holding someone back.

Meetings can include talking through feelings, learning new ways to handle impulses, building coping strategies for anxiety, and practicing emotional responses in safer ways. Stacey blends acceptance-based work with cognitive techniques and emotion-focused conversations to suit each person's pace and goals. People start by completing a brief match questionnaire so sessions can be arranged according to availability.

Her approach is steady and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer thinking and kinder ways of relating to themselves and others.

Online support

How Stacey’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and then take values-based action. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments and behavioural changes; it often helps with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how people experience and express emotion in relationships and helps build safer emotional responses and clearer communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and adjust the mix of techniques as progress is made. That conversation is part of the first sessions rather than a one-time decision.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep eye contact and read expressions, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, on-the-go reflections or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around family life, work and other commitments and allow regular contact without long travel.
