About Stacey

Stacey Coombes is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and self-esteem concerns. She works with individuals facing relationship difficulties, anger and impulsive behaviour. Stacey also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting challenges and major life changes.

She has worked in the field for 10 years and holds NCPS. Stacey creates a calm, non-judgemental space so people can talk about what matters to them. She aims to offer empathetic listening alongside practical ideas people can try between sessions.

Stacey uses an integrative approach and adapts her methods to each person. Sessions can include talking through patterns, noticing emotional responses and developing small, manageable steps for change. She emphasises understanding early attachment styles when they affect present relationships.

Her work draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These tools are used to address mood concerns, relationship stresses and issues such as body image or parenting strain.

People often start by clarifying what they want to change and setting simple goals. Stacey aims to move at a pace that feels right for each person while offering practical techniques and reflective conversation to build insight and coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches and finding the right fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising new ways of responding, which often helps with low mood and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can be helpful for intimacy, trust and family-related concerns.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods suit their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as understanding deepens.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It also allows a quicker check-in when time is limited, and some techniques such as thought records, behavioural experiments and values work translate well to remote sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods to support people working through stress, relationship issues and parenting concerns.
