About Stephanie
BACP. 4 years of professional experience. Stephanie Viggars works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and other concerns such as grief, sleep problems and parenting challenges. She offers counselling in English and accepts international clients.
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her work. She aims to adapt conversations and the overall plan to each person's situation. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, identifying patterns such as attachment or communication issues, and developing practical coping strategies for day-to-day life.
Clients may bring issues linked to trauma and abuse, domestic violence, family of origin difficulties, or compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing work stress, career decisions, ADHD-related challenges, and mood concerns including depression and seasonal affective disorder. Sexuality, intimacy and non-monogamous relationship topics are part of her stated focus areas.
Her approach includes addressing emotional responses like anger, jealousy and low self-esteem, and practical matters such as sleeping problems and parenting stresses. She lists postpartum depression and pregnancy and childbirth related concerns among her areas of interest. Stephanie also works with young adult issues and offers elements of coaching alongside counselling.
The emphasis in sessions is on respectful, sensitive dialogue. She aims to help people make changes they want by clarifying goals and practicing new ways of relating or coping. To begin, clients follow the platform process to match and schedule a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her counselling. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing different responses; this can help with anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems. Another approach attends to attachment and relationship patterns, looking at how past experiences shape current intimacy, communication and commitment issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and will help decide which techniques to use. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people work with registered or accredited professionals who are located elsewhere, which can widen choices when selecting a counsellor.
