Mitchell Stevens, BACP

Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist and a full member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He has 12 years of experience working in the UK sector and offers online counselling in English for adults aged 18 and over. His stated concerns include anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, anger and low self-esteem among others.

He spent much of his career in the voluntary sector with Change, Grow & Live and The Forward Trust. There he supported people facing homelessness, addictions and serious mental health struggles. He has also worked in community counselling with Ashford Counselling Service and Kent Counsellors.

Mitchell describes coming into this work through personal and professional growth. His own therapy shaped how he thinks and responds, and that experience informs how he shows up in sessions. He says he remains down-to-earth and human - he laughs, curses, and speaks plainly.

He brings direct life experience of modern family patterns, stepfamilies and the pressures that create conflict at home. That background sits alongside years in the music industry as a musician, writer, producer and sound engineer, which he says helps him relate to creative people and unconventional work lives.

In session he uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Mitchell focuses on practical ways to manage feelings, cope with painful memories, and reduce patterns that lead to repeated fights or withdrawal.

He also works with intimacy and identity questions, LGBT concerns, grief and life transitions. To begin, clients follow the service matching steps to schedule a first session and discuss preferred goals and next steps.
