About Stephanie

Stephanie Aylott is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing life changes and the emotional fallout of loss.

Stephanie focuses on helping people name what is hard and find practical next steps. She encourages straightforward conversation about feelings and reactions. Sessions aim to make it easier to notice patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or feeling overwhelmed by someone else’s moods.

Her background includes work with abandonment and attachment concerns, and with people affected by substance use, domestic violence, and family-of-origin issues. She also has experience supporting people with autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality dynamics, and cancer-related distress.

Therapy sessions cover practical skills for managing anxiety and low mood, plus coping strategies for grief and major life changes. Stephanie talks through how control, guilt or shame show up and helps people plan clearer boundaries and steps forward.

Her way of working is direct and conversational. She asks concrete questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people try different approaches between sessions. To begin, clients use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options provided.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used and online practicalities

Stephanie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. One common approach helps people spot anxious or negative thinking and practise more balanced ways of reacting; this can reduce worry and low mood over time. Another approach looks at attachment and abandonment patterns to clarify how early relationships affect current behaviour and relationship choices; this is useful for people who find themselves over-investing in others or struggling with boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Stephanie discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on how helpful each approach feels in practice.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family routines, avoid travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or phone options depending on bandwidth or comfort with being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can guide which format suits a particular aim and schedule.
