About Stacey

Stacey Cardwell is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also lists additional focus areas such as social anxiety and phobia, body image and workplace issues.

Stacey keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people name worries and notice patterns. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult moments as well as looking at feelings that sit under repeated reactions.

Her approach draws on client-centred ideas that place the person at the heart of therapy. This means conversations are led by what the client brings, with the counsellor reflecting and asking questions to deepen understanding. Psychodynamic work is used to look at how early experiences and relationships can shape current responses and relationships.

People come to Stacey for help with social anxiety and phobia, difficulty speaking up, problems at work, and losses that leave someone unsure how to move forward. She also supports those dealing with pregnancy, postpartum feelings, and end-of-life matters.

Stacey describes practical next steps so sessions feel manageable. She asks about current stressors and what the person hopes to change. From there, she and the client agree on how to focus time together and what to try between sessions.

How Stacey uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's immediate concerns and feelings. The counsellor reflects what is said, asks questions that clarify, and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and day-to-day stress.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences influence current patterns. It can help uncover why certain situations trigger strong reactions and support gradual change over time.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stacey discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts how sessions run based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where choices are reviewed as therapy progresses.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to maintain continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult, but the exact formats and practicalities should be checked in advance.
