About Stephen

Stephen Buck offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and grief. He supports people struggling with addiction, parenting pressures, workplace issues and questions about identity. He also works with concerns like eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and coping with big life changes.

Stephen uses a straightforward, warm style in sessions. He listens closely and adapts conversations to each person. He aims to build a safe, respectful space where people can talk honestly about what matters to them.

Background and approach

His approach draws on several well-known therapies. Stephen uses client-centred listening to follow what the person brings. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and actions.

Mindfulness practices and motivational conversation techniques are used when they fit the goal. Stephen has been practising for 15 years and holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He works with people from a range of backgrounds and has experience with issues related to adoption, attachment, gender dysphoria, bereavement and trauma.

Sessions can take different forms depending on what feels most useful. Stephen will shape a plan together with each person, checking progress and making changes as needed. He aims for practical steps as well as time to understand deeper worries.

Online support

Stephen draws partly on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and following what the person brings to each session. This approach helps people feel heard and explore personal values and choices at their own pace.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical method that looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines because it suggests small experiments and changes to test what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stephen will discuss different methods and adapt them to the person's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means methods can be blended or changed as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits longer conversations and visual connection, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can fit short check-ins and ongoing support. These options let people fit sessions around work, family life or travel while keeping continuity of care.
