Stephanie Cartwright, BACP

Stephanie Cartwright is a Counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and anger. Clients come with everyday concerns such as low self-esteem, sleep or eating problems, parenting strain, career stress and questions about intimacy or commitment.

Her sessions are practical and focused on clear priorities. She uses a mix of client-centred listening and cognitive-behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Solution-focused skills are used to set short-term goals and keep work on track.

Stephanie has experience working in a hospice setting, supporting people with life-limiting illness and those caring for them. She also supports people facing bereavement, midlife transitions, separation and other major life changes. That background informs how she talks about loss, grief and moving forward.

Clients are often given short, practical tasks between sessions so they can practise new ways of thinking and coping. The work emphasises learning skills that can be used day to day to manage anger, reduce tension, and improve relationships and sleep.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques alongside client-centred principles. Sessions aim to be direct and down-to-earth, helping people increase confidence and feel more able to handle life’s stresses.
