Steven Price, BACP

Steven Price is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable, offering respectful and compassionate support for people under stress or facing difficult changes.

He commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and mood concerns such as bipolar. He also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, relationship strain, grief and issues around self-esteem and identity, including LGBT matters.

Steven uses a mix of well known counselling approaches and adapts them to each person. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make space for a person’s own perspective, and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills.

He also integrates Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness techniques when people need tools for emotional regulation and staying present. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding the drive to change behaviours or break cycles.

Steven tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than following a single template. He describes his role as supportive and collaborative, helping people set goals and try new ways of coping. To begin, he asks people to share what matters most to them and what they hope to change.

How Steven’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. Online sessions let a counsellor use this approach to follow your lead, encourage your own insights and focus on the issues you bring. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers exercises to change unhelpful patterns. In an online setting this often means practical homework, thought records and step-by-step skill building that you can practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steven treats this as a collaborative process - he will discuss options with you and adapt techniques to your goals and preferences. Together you decide whether a skills-based focus, a reflective exploration, or a mix of methods feels most useful.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes access simpler for people living abroad, since international clients are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these methods to keep therapy practical and focused on everyday changes.
