About me
Steve Neville MBACP (Accred) MA Dip(Couns) Adv Cert Couples PGCE
Counsellor/Couples Counsellor/Lecturer in Counselling & Mental Health
Ever feel like you’re living by someone else’s rules, or that you’ve lost touch with who you really are? Maybe you sense you’re not reaching your full potential, or just feel stuck. Therapy can be a space to reconnect with yourself — a place where you’re free to explore who you are, what you want, and what truly matters to you.
I’m a fully qualified person-centred counsellor (BACP Accredited), and my work is rooted in the belief that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to offer a safe, non-judgemental, and genuinely understanding space where you feel heard, accepted, and supported.
A key part of how I work is through congruence — in everyday terms, this means I bring my real, honest self into our sessions. I don’t hide behind professional masks or jargon. You’ll always know where you stand with me. Together, we create a therapeutic relationship built on openness, trust, and mutual respect.
I believe that when someone feels truly seen and understood without judgment, growth and change naturally follow. The relationship we build together is central to the counselling process. You're in charge of your therapy, and I’ll walk alongside you — at your pace — wherever your journey leads.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a counsellor in a busy GP surgery, supporting people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. I also have experience working with ex-offenders and people in recovery from addiction, and I understand the complex challenges and strengths that can come with those experiences.
I also offer couples counselling, helping partners improve communication, deepen connection, and navigate transitions or difficulties in their relationship.
In addition to my therapeutic work, I lecture in counselling and mental health, which keeps me connected to current research and thinking in the field — and fuels my passion for helping others grow, both personally and professionally.
Whether you’re coming to therapy as an individual or as part of a couple, I will always meet you with authenticity, care, and a deep respect for your autonomy.

Alongside my private practice, I also work as a counsellor in a busy GP surgery, supporting people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. My background includes experience with ex-offenders and people in recovery from addiction, which has deepened my understanding of both the challenges and strengths that can emerge from those experiences. In addition, I offer relationship therapy, helping partners improve communication, deepen connection, and navigate life’s transitions and challenges together. Besides my therapeutic work, I also lecture in counselling and mental health which keeps me engaged with current research and practice, and i'm continually inspired by the growth of others. Whether you come to therapy as an individual or as a couple, I will always meet you with authenticity, care, and a deep respect for your autonomy.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
