About Stacey

Stacey Coombes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage anger, stress and relationship strain. She works with worries such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and grief. Stacey offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and start to make changes they choose.

She has ten years of experience and uses an integrative approach. That means she adapts techniques to suit each person rather than following a single method. Sessions focus on listening, practical steps and building understanding of patterns that keep problems going.

Stacey uses approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She blends elements from these to match a person’s needs and goals. This can include learning new coping skills, noticing unhelpful thoughts, or working on emotional responses in relationships.

People often come for support with parenting strain, trauma and abuse, body image, impulsivity and mood disorders. She also supports those navigating life changes such as divorce, career shifts or postpartum depression. Conversations cover both immediate coping strategies and longer term ways to feel more stable.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are held in English and she does not work with international clients.

How Stacey uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety and coping with life changes by teaching mindful awareness and values-based steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people understand emotional needs and improve how they connect with others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. This approach helps people gain confidence, self-understanding and a stronger sense of who they are.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will discuss goals and try methods that suit the person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as understanding grows and priorities change.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it straightforward to continue therapy through life changes while still focusing on practical skills, emotional processing and relationship patterns.
