About Stephanie
Counsellor Stephanie Boosey is a member of the NCPS with six years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and many other difficulties. Sessions focus on identifying what is causing distress and finding practical ways to move forward.
Stephanie uses a person-centred stance and draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She explains things in plain terms and works with clients to notice patterns of thought and behaviour that get in the way. Practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy are used alongside mindfulness exercises to reduce worrying and improve day-to-day coping.
She also offers work informed by attachment ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections. For people affected by traumatic events, she can include EMDR - a method aimed at helping the brain process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. Sessions often combine discussion, exercises and reflection.
Stephanie states she has experience supporting a wide range of issues such as addiction, bereavement, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, body image and caregiver strain. She also lists additional focus areas including adoption and foster care, autism and attachment issues. Her practice style is collaborative - clients bring their experience and she brings clinical methods and curious listening.
People considering therapy with her are asked to use the site matching process to book a first appointment. The initial steps include a short questionnaire and a scheduled session to discuss goals and how to work together.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Stephanie uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical techniques that can change feelings and behaviour. CBT sessions often involve setting small goals and practising new ways of responding to stress and worry.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This can help with relationship problems, intimacy-related issues and long-standing patterns of trust or avoidance.
When trauma is a central issue, EMDR-informed work may be offered. EMDR aims to help the mind process distressing memories so they no longer trigger the same intense reactions. It is used alongside talking and stabilising techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That plan can change as work progresses and as you notice what helps most.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks, shorter check-ins, or workday pauses. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt interventions so they remain practical and relevant when delivered remotely.
