About Steven
Counsellor (NCPS), 14 years' experience. Steven Ford helps people deal with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger and self-esteem issues. He works from an integrative, trauma-aware perspective and combines several therapeutic methods to match each person's needs.
Steven draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centred work alongside psychodynamic ideas and motivational interviewing. He uses practical exercises and conversational reflection. Sessions also look at patterns from the past that keep problems repeating now.
He has worked in a range of therapeutic settings and currently coordinates counselling at a recovery service. That role involves leading a team of counsellors and overseeing how interventions are delivered. This background informs how he structures individual work and group input alike.
Common topics he addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication difficulties, fatherhood concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, midlife questions and men’s issues. He also works with process addictions such as gambling, exercise and porn, and with survivors of sexual assault and abuse.
His style is straightforward and focused on practical change. Clients can expect a mix of skills training, reflection on life patterns and collaborative planning. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be seen; check the booking flow to confirm current session formats and scheduling details.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions using ACT tend to include values clarification and simple experiential exercises that can be practised between meetings.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. In remote sessions this often means teaching concrete skills, reviewing practice sheets and planning short behavioural experiments to try before the next appointment.
Client-Centred therapy emphasises an open, non-directive conversation where the person leads what matters most. Online meetings keep that conversational frame while combining it with skills or exercises from other approaches when useful.
Steven treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. He will work with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, circumstances and preferences, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.
