About Steven
Steven Hall is a counsellor who uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working. He focuses on creating an open space where people can say what they are feeling and thinking without judgement. He encourages small steps and practical changes, and recognises that starting therapy often takes real courage.
He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation rooted in the client's experience. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable goals and build on what already works.
Background and approach
These approaches are used with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship concerns, including intimacy and communication problems. Steven has ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP.
His background includes helping people cope with major life changes, parenting pressures, career stress and the emotional impact of illness or caregiving. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, guilt and shame, and issues such as infidelity and divorce. LGBT concerns are among the areas he lists, and he works with people wanting clearer sense of identity and connection.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Steven aims to balance listening with concrete steps clients can try between meetings. He invites clients to set the pace and focuses on what matters to each person right now.

How his approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor listens without directing and reflects back what the client says to help them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach is helpful for people coping with grief, low self-esteem or life transitions.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small steps that move things forward. Sessions concentrate on identifying practical goals and building on what is already working. This can suit people who want brief, focused work on problems like stress, anxiety or communication issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. They will then try methods that fit the person's needs, adjusting the plan as the work progresses.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Many people find this helps them keep continuity while juggling work, family and caregiving responsibilities.
