Stacey Coombes, NCPS

Stacey Coombes is an accredited integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom, holding the NCPS credential, a professional counselling and psychotherapy credential. She creates a warm, non-judgmental environment where people can explore difficult feelings and life challenges at a pace that feels manageable.

Stacey specialises in work around self-esteem, stress, anger and impulsive behaviour, as well as anxiety, shame, the inner child, domestic abuse and relationship difficulties. While these are areas of particular focus, her practice is not limited to these topics and she supports people facing recent life transitions as well as those carrying longer-standing emotional burdens.

Working in an integrative way, Stacey adapts methods to suit each individual rather than following a single prescribed model. Her role is to walk alongside clients, offering empathy, insight and practical tools to help them gain clarity and move forward. She aims to combine emotional understanding with strategies tailored to each person’s needs.

Reaching out for support can take courage, and Stacey recognises that first steps matter. She looks forward to getting to know people and supporting them toward greater self-understanding, compassion and clearer direction.

Approaches in online therapy with Stacey

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and focuses on identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how these influence current ways of relating. This work can help with intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns and improving communication in relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a supportive, empathic therapeutic relationship in which the person’s own perspective guides the pace and direction of change. It is helpful for building self-esteem, processing difficult emotions and finding personal clarity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Stacey works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt methods so therapy aligns with the client’s priorities and comfort level.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or elsewhere, reduce travel time and allow therapy to fit around work, family and other commitments.
