About Steven
Steven Manfredi trained as a therapist after experiencing the benefits of therapy in his own life. He holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. He aims to make the first steps into therapy feel less daunting for people who are unsure what to expect.
Steven works in a person-centred way, keeping the client at the heart of each session. He offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what is worrying them.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on the issues that matter most to the individual and on practical next steps they want to try. His practice includes help with stress, anxiety and panic, grief and loss, relationship and family concerns, depression, and career issues. He also supports people dealing with self-esteem, anger, intimacy difficulties and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Phobias are listed among his areas of focus. Steven draws on client-centred principles alongside mindfulness and solution-focused approaches. He aims to help people build resilience, confidence and clearer ways of coping.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and paced according to their goals. People who come for therapy can expect a straightforward conversation about what they want to change. Steven works collaboratively to set short-term goals and to review progress as they go.
He describes therapy as a step towards a more manageable and satisfying life.
How Steven uses practical approaches online
Client-centred work places the person’s priorities first and focuses on understanding their experience. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what matters to the client, and helps them decide what to work on next. This approach suits people who want a respectful space to make sense of their feelings.Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. It can help with stress, anxiety and recurring worry by training attention and simple breathing or grounding practices.
Solution-focused methods look at what is already working and build small, achievable steps from there. This is useful for people who want short-term, goal-oriented work and clear actions between sessions.
Steven treats choice of approach as a collaborative matter. He will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s goals, needs and preferences rather than assuming one way is best. Together they set aims and check progress as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit in-depth conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, brief check-ins can use live chat, and text messaging helps if someone prefers writing or needs flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
