About

About Mitchell

Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist with 12 years of clinical experience and membership of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He offers online counselling in English for adults aged 18 and over and brings practical, down-to-earth support to common life difficulties.

He has worked across the voluntary sector with national UK organisations supporting people facing homelessness, addiction and poor mental health. He has also provided community counselling in local services, which gave him experience with a wide range of personal and social issues.

Background and approach

Mitchell draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches. He uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns. He also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working to make sense of relationships and identity.

His life experience includes parenting, blended-family dynamics and a long career in the music industry as a musician and producer. Those experiences inform his practical, human style and his comfort talking about creativity, identity and sexual orientation, including LGBT matters. Mitchell describes his work as personable and straightforward.

Sessions aim to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship problems, trauma-related difficulties and other concerns, while building clearer ways of coping and relating to others.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Mitchell uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and often focuses on small steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood and improve sleep.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and to take actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for stress, depression and managing chronic problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mitchell will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep therapy while living abroad or moving between locations, though scheduling will depend on time zones and availability.
