Stephanie Boosey , NCPS

Stephanie Boosey is a counsellor who helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma, loss and other painful life moments. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to help clients identify what is getting in the way and find practical ways forward. Stephanie works in English and supports people from the United Kingdom as well as international clients.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Clients bring their experiences and she brings attentive listening, reflective questions and practical exercises. Her style is warm and person-centred, with a focus on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and adopt coping strategies that fit their daily life.

Stephanie draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to individual needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships influence current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, for people processing traumatic memories.

Sessions may include mindfulness practices to reduce anxiety and increase present-moment awareness. The work is practical at times and exploratory at others, depending on what the person needs that day. Stephanie places emphasis on kindness, respect and helping people build realistic coping tools.

She holds the NCPS credential and brings six years of recorded experience in her practice. People seeking help with grief, relationships, addictions, ADHD, body image and related concerns will find a straightforward, empathetic approach and a plan shaped around their goals.

How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to identify those patterns and test new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical strategies to change behaviours and mood. In video or phone sessions the therapist and client set small, achievable tasks to practise between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method some people use to process traumatic memories; when appropriate elements of this work are delivered online, sessions include clear step-by-step guidance and pacing that suit the person’s comfort.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, previous experiences and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative decision-making means the plan can change as progress is made or new needs emerge.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls let people use visual cues and still meet from different places. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief reflections and ongoing contact between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
