Stacey has ten years' experience and holds an NCPS credential. She works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. Her background includes helping people with trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body image concerns, mood and bipolar conditions, postpartum depression, and challenges linked to parenting and career change.

Areas of focus also include attachment issues, communication problems, control and impulsivity, jealousy, isolation and family problems. She supports people dealing with divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and those affected by military service concerns.

In sessions clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental approach that mixes discussion with hands-on techniques. Stacey aims to help people notice patterns, try new ways of managing feelings, and make steady changes. The first steps are simple: say what feels hard and set small, realistic goals together.

How Stacey’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and family-related struggles. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the individual’s pace, letting people lead what they want to work on.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will discuss different methods and together decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or as new priorities emerge.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and use visual aids during sessions. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter environment or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections and more frequent contact between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and everyday life while keeping the focus on steady, helpful change.
