About Stephanie
Stephanie Cartwright is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who combines person-centred, cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ways of working. She draws on eight years of experience to help people make practical changes. Stephanie aims for focused sessions that target what matters most to each person.
She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps with relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and rebuilding self-esteem after a breakup. Parenting is one of the areas she lists, alongside sleep and eating problems, anger and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Stephanie has worked in hospice settings supporting people with terminal and non-terminal diagnoses and their carers. That background informs her approach to loss, bereavement and end-of-life matters. She uses those experiences to help people find ways to move forward while holding what they have been through.
Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Stephanie believes people already have strengths and skills - therapy uncovers and sharpens those resources. Between sessions clients are often given short priorities or tasks to try out in daily life.
Her practice considers mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing together. Stephanie aims to help people feel more in control and better able to act on the changes they want to make. The work is collaborative and grounded in everyday steps that can fit into a busy life.

Approach-led online counselling that fits everyday life
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experiences. The counsellor listens with empathy and helps the client find their own solutions rather than prescribing answers. This is useful for people who want a supportive space to understand feelings and build self-trust.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short tasks to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and clear goals to create change quickly when time and direction are priorities.
Choosing an approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative selection can be reviewed as work progresses to keep the focus useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is low, live chat offers a shorter check-in and text messaging lets clients write in between sessions. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, family and busy days while keeping therapy practical and reachable.
