Steven Manfredi trained as a counsellor after experiencing the benefits of therapy himself. He uses his own journey to create a calm, non-judgemental space for people who find it hard to ask for help. Steven is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, with four years of practice supporting a range of concerns.

He focuses on what matters most to each person and keeps sessions straightforward and practical.

Background and approach

Conversations look at current stresses, anxiety, low mood, grief, and relationship or family tensions. Steven also supports people facing life changes, career pressures, anger or issues with intimacy and self-esteem. Steven draws on person-centred ways of working, mindfulness techniques and solution-focused strategies.

That means listening closely, noticing patterns, and trying small, manageable steps that can make daily life easier. Sessions aim to build confidence and resilience over time rather than promising quick fixes. People who prefer clear, down-to-earth talking and practical ideas tend to fit well with his style.

He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so therapy can fit around work and family life. Sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules according to the therapist's availability.

Steven keeps the work focused on the client's goals and adapts his approach as those goals change.

How Steven's approaches work online

Steven uses person-centred work to place the client's concerns at the centre of each session. That means the conversation follows what matters most to the person, with the counsellor reflecting and listening so the client can better understand their feelings and choices.

He also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions in a calmer way. These simple practices can reduce reactivity and support people dealing with anxiety, stress or recurring negative thoughts.

Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, practical steps that move people towards their goals. This approach is useful for clients who want concrete actions to manage work pressures, relationship problems or day-to-day coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Steven discusses options with each person and adapts the mix of listening, mindfulness and goal-focused tasks to suit their needs and preferences. The process is about testing what helps and adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls suit those who want face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break in a busy day. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or for people who prefer writing their thoughts rather than speaking.
