Steven Manfredi, BACP

Steven Manfredi trained to become a therapist after experiencing the benefits of therapy firsthand earlier in life, and he brings that personal insight into his professional practice. He practices from a person-centred perspective, placing the client at the heart of the work and focusing on the issues that matter most to each individual. Steven creates a nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about stress, anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, grief and loss, depression, career concerns, and other life challenges, with the aim of finding constructive ways forward and building resilience and self-esteem.

Licensed in the United Kingdom and holding BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Steven has accumulated hundreds of hours of professional practice. He works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, ADHD, LGBT matters, and coping with life changes. His approach emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and he adapts the work to meet each person’s unique needs. Seeking support can take courage, and Steven offers steady guidance and practical support to help people move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Steven

Steven draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the client leads the conversation and the pace of change. This approach is well suited to people seeking greater self-understanding, support with low mood, or help navigating relationship and identity concerns. He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help clients build present-moment awareness and reduce stress and anxiety by learning simple attention and grounding practices. For clients who want focused, goal-oriented work, Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Steven collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts sessions as required and encourages an open conversation about what is or is not helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access support from home or work and to maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or circumstances change. Registered professionals can work effectively through these channels to provide consistent, tailored support.
