Mitchell Stevens

Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist with 12 years' experience and membership of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He offers online counselling in English for adults aged 18 and over. Mitchell draws on his own life changes and personal therapy to shape an honest, down-to-earth practice where people can talk frankly about anger, stress, relationships and other difficulties.

He has worked across the voluntary sector with organisations supporting people affected by homelessness, addiction and poor mental health. That background informs how he responds to crisis, loss and complex emotional issues. He also has experience in community counselling services in Kent and Ashford.

Mitchell uses a mix of approaches to suit each person, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work. Sessions usually focus on what is happening now, practical steps to manage feelings, and understanding patterns that get in the way.

He is open about the role his own therapy played in his development, and he aims to bring warmth, humour and straightforward language to sessions. Clients can expect a conversational style that balances challenge with support.

Mitchell also brings life experience of modern family dynamics and previous work in the music industry, which can be useful when addressing identity, creativity and relationship concerns. He accepts international clients and runs a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then decide what matters and take small actions towards those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and chronic patterns of avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, mood and anger-related difficulties.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and relational problems. It aims to make sense of repeated dynamics and to try new responses in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mitchell will talk through the options and agree a plan that fits the person’s goals, needs and preferences. He uses collaboration to decide whether to emphasise practical skills, pattern work, or a mix of both.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity when life changes. It can suit those who need quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins, or who prefer not to travel. As session formats are set by the therapist, please confirm the available online options before booking so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
