About Mitchell

Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist with 12 years' experience. He is a full member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists, listed as BACP, and offers online counselling in English to adults aged 18 and over.

He began this work after making changes in his own life. That personal journey shaped how he listens and responds. He describes himself as genuine and down-to-earth, someone who will laugh and curse as needed while staying focused on the work.

Mitchell has substantial experience in the voluntary sector, including roles at Change, Grow & Live and The Forward Trust. In those roles he supported people facing homelessness, addiction and poor mental health. He has also worked in community counselling with Ashford Counselling Service and Kent Counsellors.

In practice he helps people manage problems such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, self-esteem and trauma-related dissociation. He also supports those navigating relationship and family difficulties, identity and sexual orientation questions, parenting strains and career stress. His background includes work with personality-related challenges and complex life transitions.

Mitchell brings specific personal insight into blended and modern family life, plus a long history in the music industry as a musician, writer, producer and sound engineer. That combination of life experience and clinical work informs a practical, person-centred style that aims to help people think, act and see themselves differently.

Approaches to work with online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and take small steps towards those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns shape current reactions and connections with others; it can be useful for relationship difficulties and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, examines links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and supports practical changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood and manage unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mitchell will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. He aims to agree a plan that fits the person’s needs and to adapt methods as the work progresses in a collaborative way.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check which session types are offered before booking because the biography specifies online counselling but does not list particular formats. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule sessions around work or family commitments. For practical questions about how sessions are run, confirm the current options when you arrange your first meeting.
