About Mitchell
Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor with 12 years' experience and a full member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He offers online counselling in English for adults aged 18 and over. His background includes supporting people affected by homelessness, addiction and poor mental health in nationwide UK organisations.
Mitchell brings practical life experience to sessions. He trained after personal therapy helped him change how he thought and behaved.
Background and approach
That experience shapes a down-to-earth style and an emphasis on honest conversation. He says he laughs and curses, and aims to be a genuine person in the room. In practice he helps people with a wide range of difficulties.
These include anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and dissociation, self-esteem problems, relationship and family issues, grief and bereavement, and concerns about identity and sexual orientation. He also supports those coping with life changes such as divorce or midlife transitions. Mitchell draws on approaches that include somatic work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed methods, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas.
Sessions focus on noticing what happens in the body, clarifying values and practical steps, and improving communication within important relationships. Before counselling he worked across community services and in the voluntary sector, and he has experience supervising others at The Forward Trust. His earlier career in the music industry gives him insight into creative lives and complex family arrangements.
He aims to help people find clearer ways to think, act and relate.
How Mitchell blends therapeutic approaches online
Somatic work invites attention to physical sensations and movement alongside talk. It can help when anxiety, trauma or stress are experienced in the body by teaching people to notice tension and find gentle ways to shift it.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small practical steps. It helps people identify what matters to them, build willingness to face difficult thoughts, and take actions that match their goals.
Attachment-based approaches look at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections. This can be useful for improving communication, managing uncertainty in relationships, and understanding recurring emotional reactions.
Finding the right mixture of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss preferences, goals and what feels most helpful, and then adapt sessions collaboratively to suit the client's needs.
Online counselling offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or relocation, and to keep continuity when life is busy. Many people find that mixing formats helps them stay engaged and make steady progress.
