About Steven

Steven Hall is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger and low self-esteem. He also works with people facing career pressures, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and issues around intimacy and codependency.

Steven uses a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. He encourages people to say what matters to them and to notice patterns that keep causing pain. Conversations look at what is happening now and at practical ways to respond differently when old habits take over.

He blends client-centred work with solution-focused methods. That means listening closely, reflecting what a person is saying, and then trying small, manageable changes together. Sessions may include setting short-term goals and testing out new ways of handling difficult conversations or emotions.

Many people come to Steven because they find themselves putting others first, struggling to set boundaries, or staying in draining relationships. He supports people working through abandonment, attachment worries, guilt or shame, and the loneliness that can follow relationship problems. He also helps those coping with illness in the family, divorce or separation, and betrayal.

Practical steps are central to his style. He will help a person identify one or two changes to try between sessions and then review what worked. Steven aims to keep sessions clear and focused so people can build more control over their responses and feel less overwhelmed.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person speaking. The counsellor listens without direction and reflects what is said. This approach helps people feel heard and to notice the choices they have in relationships and emotional reactions.

Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical steps. Sessions look for exceptions to a problem and set short goals to try between meetings. This can suit someone who wants clear, achievable changes for stress, anxiety or codependency patterns.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss aims, preferences and how each approach might help. Together they decide what to try and check progress as things change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during busy days. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting, avoid being on camera, or use a format with lower bandwidth if needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the mix of listening and practical tasks to suit each person's situation.
