Counselling in Twickenham — About Steven
Sometimes what we are carrying has been building for a long time. Sometimes it arrives suddenly. Whether it is the weight of professional pressure, a sense of being stuck, a loss that has changed everything, or simply the feeling that something needs to shift — counselling can offer a space to begin to understand it.
Steven is a qualified Psychosynthesis counsellor based in Twickenham, offering face-to-face sessions in London and online and telephone counselling across the UK. He holds a Level 7 Postgraduate Qualification in Psychosynthesis and a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). His approach is client-centred, collaborative, and rooted in Psychosynthesis — a transpersonal and integrative therapy that considers not just the psychological, but the emotional, relational, and deeper dimensions of a person’s experience.
Before training as a counsellor, Steven spent 26 years working within large organisations — witnessing first-hand the effects of chronic stress, burnout, and the emotional strain that high-pressure environments can create. This background gives him a particularly grounded understanding of the pressures professionals, entrepreneurs, and those in demanding roles often bring to therapy.
Background & Experience
Steven’s transition from a long organisational career into counselling was driven by a genuine desire to offer support and compassion to people navigating life’s difficulties. Having spent over two decades in environments where stress, performance pressure, and emotional strain were commonplace, he understands these experiences not as abstract presenting issues but as real, complex dimensions of working life that affect the whole person.
This background shapes the quality of presence Steven brings to his counselling work — particularly with professionals, students under academic pressure, and individuals navigating career transitions, redundancy, or burnout. He also works with a wide range of personal, emotional, and relational difficulties, bringing the same depth of attention and care to each.
Steven works with individual clients on a private basis, and also supports those referred through EAP arrangements and organisational referrals. He maintains regular professional supervision and is committed to ongoing professional development.
Therapeutic Approach
Steven’s practice is grounded in Psychosynthesis, an integrative and transpersonal therapeutic approach that he brings together with a client-centred, collaborative style.
Psychosynthesis
Psychosynthesis is a transpersonal and integrative therapy developed by Roberto Assagioli in the early twentieth century. It considers not only the psychological aspects of a person but also their emotional, relational, and deeper dimensions of experience — including questions of meaning, identity, and purpose. Psychosynthesis understands personal challenges not simply as problems to be solved but as potential opportunities for greater self-awareness, growth, and authenticity. Steven uses imagination, imagery exercises, and guided reflection to help clients uncover deeper emotions and unconscious patterns, allowing for greater self-understanding and lasting change. Psychosynthesis counselling in Twickenham and online across the UK.
Client-Centred and Collaborative
Alongside his Psychosynthesis training, Steven’s counselling style is fundamentally client-centred — placing you at the centre of the therapeutic journey. He tailors his approach to each individual’s needs, personality, and life experience, creating a non-judgmental, supportive space where you can explore your concerns freely and at your own pace. The therapeutic relationship is collaborative: Steven works with you, not on you.
Areas of Focus
Steven offers counselling in Twickenham and online and telephone counselling across the UK. The following are areas he works with regularly and has specific experience in.
Anxiety and stress
If anxiety has been making daily life harder — through persistent worry, panic attacks, or the constant weight of overwhelm — counselling in Twickenham or online can offer a space to understand what is driving it. Steven’s Psychosynthesis approach explores the deeper roots of anxiety rather than simply managing its symptoms. Anxiety counselling Twickenham and online available across the UK.
Workplace stress and burnout
Steven’s 26 years of organisational experience give him a particular understanding of workplace pressure — the way it builds gradually, the way it blurs the line between work and self, and the specific exhaustion of high-performance environments. Workplace stress counselling and burnout counselling in Twickenham and online, supporting professionals, entrepreneurs, and those in demanding roles.
Depression and low mood
Feelings of sadness, lack of motivation, or emotional flatness — depression takes many forms. Steven works gently alongside people experiencing depression and low mood, helping them understand the patterns beneath it and find a way through.

Bereavement and loss

Relationship counselling Twickenham and online.
Life direction and personal growth
For clients who feel lost, stuck, or uncertain of where they are going — or seeking a deeper sense of meaning and purpose — Psychosynthesis counselling in Twickenham is particularly well suited. Steven’s transpersonal approach is well placed for questions of identity, direction, and authenticity.
Sessions with Steven
Steven offers face-to-face counselling at his practice in Twickenham, London, and online and telephone counselling to individuals across the UK. Sessions are available during the day and in the evenings.
Steven works with individual clients on a private basis, and also supports those referred through EAP arrangements and organisational referrals — where an employer or organisation directs an individual to seek counselling support on a one-off basis.
Sessions are 50 minutes. Steven offers both short-term, goal-focused counselling and longer-term exploratory work, adjusting session frequency or structure as your needs evolve. Sessions are confidential. There are limited circumstances in which this may need to change — for example, if there is a serious risk of harm to you or others. Steven will explain these clearly before any work begins.
