Mitchell Stevens, BACP

Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist with 12 years' experience. He is a full member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He offers online counselling in English for adults aged 18 and over.

Mitchell came into this work after personal and professional changes. He used his own therapy to change how he thought and behaved, and says that experience shaped his practice. He draws on that background to help people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction and grief, among other concerns.

His work has included roles with UK-wide organisations supporting people affected by homelessness, addiction and poor mental health. He has also practised in community counselling services, which gave him experience with a broad range of emotional and relational issues. He names family dynamics and stepfamily life as areas where his personal insight is useful.

Mitchell uses a mix of approaches in the room. He often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help clients notice patterns, try different actions and manage difficult feelings. He also uses client-centred ways of working to keep conversations focused on the client’s priorities.

Sessions are straightforward and down-to-earth. He aims to be warm, direct and human in his style. People meet a practitioner who values honesty, practical change and everyday solutions rather than jargon.

How Mitchell's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a chosen direction, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and try different responses to feel safer and more connected.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Mitchell will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that suit their needs. He adapts what he does based on how the person responds and what feels useful in practice.

Online work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It can cut travel time, allow more flexible scheduling and make it simpler to have shorter check-ins when needed.
