Stephen Hunter

Have you ever felt like something is not quite right? Or that you experience things different from others in a way you can't quite put into words?

Maybe you've noticed you're treated different and can't quite figure out why, or even how to explain what you've noticed.

Do you find yourself doing a lot of thinking? Or the complete opposite and find yourself on auto pilot frequently? Or maybe you're a mix of both depending on the context?

Are there times you find yourself sitting there knowing exactly what you need to do, and yet can't seem to do it?

Maybe you're doing that right now as you're looking for a therapist feeling like you need some support, and are struggling to send that email.

If any of this is resonating with you in some way, I believe we could work well together.

How Do I Work?

I believe that trust, respect, and creativity are paramount to the counselling process. 

For me, trust is about creating a space where the client can be honest with the things you have hidden away from others – and sometimes tried to hide even from yourself. 

Respect in the counselling relationship needs to be mutual, respect for each other, respect the work that we have agreed to do together, respect for the boundaries of what may currently be possible and holding of hope for what can emerger in our process. 

The counselling process doesn’t have to work in the way you may have seen on the TV – it can be built between us within our unique relationship. As a creative counsellor I will respond to you as an individual and the unique experiences, perspectives and needs you have so that I can best support you in the changes you want to make within yourself and your life.

Lets Talk

When you get in touch with me I will drop you an email and offer an initial 30 minute online consultation to see if both you and I feel like we can work well together. Trust is central to the counselling relationship and its important that as a client you get a sense of me and how I work and I can get an understanding of you and your needs to see if I am the best person to support you. 

Once we have decided to work together we will mutually agree if online or in-person sessions are most appropriate. In-person sessions take place in Wednesbury, in the West Midlands. 

From then, sessions are weekly at mutually agreeable times either in person or online.

Testimonials

"Steve is everything I wanted in an open, knowledgeable and reflective counsellor. All conversations were met with a deep listening and understanding that i've found rare in other counsellors over the years. I often find it hard to articulate my words, but steve offered a space of patience in allowing me time to open up, and sensitivity when raising thoughts. I also found him very intuitive on areas where deeper exploration would help heal me the most and I appreciated his careful approach to these areas. I couldn't recommend him more." - CM

" I have seen other counsellors in the past and not really gotten anything from it, but after being recommended to steve I got so much out of the sessions and my life started to change. I highly recommend him!" - SC

"Can't speak highly enough of steve. Really knows his stuff and he explains things clearly and makes it easy to understand. He's been great for me." - JE
