About Mitchell
Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist and a full member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He has 12 years' experience and offers online counselling in English for adults aged 18 and over. He lists a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family problems, trauma and loss.
Mitchell trained after personal experience of therapy led him to change career direction. He has worked in the voluntary sector with organisations supporting people affected by homelessness, addiction and poor mental health. He also has community counselling experience in Kent and Ashford services.
Sessions are practical and down to earth. He uses straight talk and occasional humour. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and on small changes that can make everyday life easier. He will listen to how past events still affect present choices and relationships.
Mitchell brings direct experience of stepfamily and blended household issues from both his personal life and professional work. He supports people dealing with co-parenting tensions, merging routines, loyalty conflicts, and the emotional demands of becoming a stepparent. He also works with concerns such as attachment issues, intimacy problems, and identity and sexual orientation matters.
His approach draws on several methods to suit the person in front of him. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioural work and acceptance-based practice, alongside attachment-focused conversations. He has also used dialectical skills and client-centred ways of working where they help people stay steady and try new habits.
Mitchell aims to be straightforward about next steps. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions run via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Mitchell commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred ways of working. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to small, values-based actions. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and living with unwanted thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current responses; it can help when trust, closeness or loyalty feel difficult. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and uses open listening and reflection to help people make sense of their choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mitchell will explore what fits each person's needs, goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. He aims to decide collaboratively which techniques to use and to check in regularly about what is helping.

Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, use short check-ins between busy days, and access continuity of care if someone moves or travels.
