About Stephanie
Stephanie Cartwright is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns, and helps with questions about self-esteem, intimacy and coping with life changes. Her background includes work in hospice settings supporting people with terminal and non-terminal diagnoses and their carers.
She keeps sessions focused on a client’s priorities and practical next steps. Conversations aim to identify small changes in thinking and behaviour that can be put into practice between meetings. Homework or short priorities are often set to support progress outside sessions.
Her approach draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques. That means she pays attention to how a person sees themselves, looks at unhelpful thought patterns, and tries short, concrete steps to shift day-to-day routines. Mindfulness practices are also used to help manage stress and improve sleep.
Stephanie has experience helping people after relationship break-ups, with bereavement and with questions about life purpose and career direction. She also supports those dealing with anger, compassion fatigue, and issues arising from trauma and abuse. Her hospice work has included end-of-life conversations and supporting family carers.
Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented, while recognising emotional and physical wellbeing. People who want clear, hands-on techniques to feel more in control often choose this way of working. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Stephanie uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy as core approaches. Client-centred work means the conversation begins with the person’s concerns and experiences, giving time to be heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help manage stress, sleep and anxiety. Mindfulness exercises are usually short practices that can be tried between sessions to calm racing thoughts and build attention to the present.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then agree on a plan. That plan can be reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so the approach fits the person’s needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy around study, work and busy schedules by avoiding travel and making it easier to attend short, regular meetings. They can also make it simpler to try mindfulness exercises and practical CBT tasks between sessions, helping people integrate changes into daily life.
