About Stephanie
Counsellor and BACP member with four years' experience, Stephanie Viggars works with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports clients with family and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem and depression. Sessions can help with career questions, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles.
Stephanie keeps sessions direct and conversational. She aims to listen first, then help people name what feels difficult. Conversations lead to practical steps people can try between sessions. She pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment, communication problems and commitment worries.
Her work also covers more specific concerns like domestic violence, family of origin issues, jealousy and narcissism-related dynamics. She is comfortable talking about non-monogamous relationships and sexuality, and offers support for pregnancy, postpartum depression and young adult issues. Seasonal Affective Disorder and self-harm are also within her remit.
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she draws on approaches shown to help in research and adapts them to each person’s situation. She explains methods plainly and agrees next steps with the person in front of her.
People looking to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. She offers work in English and accepts international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a clear, practical way. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. This can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by teaching coping steps and short exercises to practise between meetings.Another strand of her work looks at attachment and relationship patterns. This involves mapping how past relationships affect current ones and practising new ways to communicate and set boundaries. It can be useful for intimacy, jealousy, commitment concerns and communication problems.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with clients and agree a plan that fits their goals and preferences. Decisions about methods are made together and reviewed as the work progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online counselling helpful because it makes sessions easier to fit around work and family life, reduces travel time and allows for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the session length and frequency to suit practical needs and everyday schedules.
