Stephanie Viggars, BACP

Stephanie Viggars helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, sleep problems, low self-esteem and career worries. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and offers sessions in English.

Stephanie aims for straightforward conversations. She adapts her style to each person and focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions. She listens for the things that matter most, then works with clients to set clear, manageable goals.

Her background includes several years supporting people through life changes and emotional challenges. That experience informs a calm and patient approach when tackling sensitive topics such as domestic violence, postpartum depression, self-harm and attachment-related concerns. She also supports clients navigating non-monogamous relationships, jealousy, narcissism and family of origin issues.

Sessions can cover both immediate coping skills and longer-term patterns that affect mood and relationships. Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors interventions to each person’s situation. She pays attention to practical outcomes like better sleep, improved communication and steadier mood.

People working with Stephanie can expect a respectful, empathetic space to talk through difficult emotions and plan small, achievable changes. She emphasises collaboration and clear next steps so progress can be seen week to week.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people become less ruled by worrying thoughts. Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment so people can spot repeating dynamics and try different, healthier ways of relating. These approaches are aimed at everyday problems like sleeplessness, anger, intimacy worries and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods together with the client based on needs, goals and personal preferences. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or new issues arise.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins and people who prefer writing. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, study or family routines.
