About Steven
Steven Hall is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and other related concerns. Steven focuses on practical conversation and clear steps rather than jargon.
Steven uses a mix of approaches to help people manage everyday problems. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to look at thoughts, behaviours and values. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work help when relationships and closeness are part of the difficulty.
Sessions are shaped around what the person needs. Steven aims to listen, reflect what he hears, and try practical strategies together. That can include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioural experiments, or practising new ways of relating to others.
He has worked with issues such as low self-esteem, depression, sleep and eating problems, anger, and relationship or intimacy-related worries. Steven also supports people dealing with career challenges, life changes, ADHD concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Steven asks people to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. He explains the process clearly and helps clients set realistic first goals. The focus is on manageable steps that fit into a busy life.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Steven commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions based on personal values rather than being driven by every passing thought. It can help when anxiety, avoidance or low motivation are getting in the way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.He also draws on attachment-informed and emotionally-focused ideas to understand how relationships influence feelings and behaviour. These approaches can help when difficulties involve closeness, communication or recurring relationship patterns. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work and he will collaborate with each person to find what fits their goals and preferences.
The therapist's profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around study, work or other commitments. It also allows for shorter check-ins, phone or video choice when that suits, and practical continuity when life gets busy. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can use online sessions to carry out the same reflective conversations and behavioural exercises they would offer in person.
