About me
Hello and welcome to my page.
Anxiety, depression, feeling sad, panic attacks or relationship problems are just a few of the problems counselling can help you with. Counselling can also help if you find you are feeling emotional and don't know why, confused or low in mood, perhaps you feel no one listens or understands or maybe you simply feel you have lost your way in life. The way you feel now may be from unresolved life experiences or could be a result of deeper rooted problems such as trauma, issues with sexuality, abandonment, bereavement, relationships or conflict at work to name just a few...
For your therapy to be a positive and successful experience I believe the quality of the therapeutic relationship we build together is key, because of this your therapy will be tailor made to suit your needs and will focus on what is important for you. Working at a comfortable pace led by you, I will help you uncover and access your inner strengths and resources to discover answers or a sense of release from the struggles you may be experiencing. Our work will be in a safe, comfortable space where you can feel heard, understood and valued, perhaps for the first time in your life.
If you would like to find out more about counselling and the way I work, I offer a free 15 minute call at a convenient time and day for you where you can discuss what brings you to counselling and ask any questions you may have. You can also visit my website at www.beunderstood.co.uk where you will find more information about counselling and how I work along with an easy to use contact form.
You can contact me by telephone or text on 07827326035 or email me at steven@beunderstood.co.uk to book an appointment or visit my website and fill out the easy to use contact form there.
If you call and I am unable to take your call please leave a clear message with your name and contact telephone number and I will call you back as soon as I am able.
Be Understood Counselling is a very busy practice therefore a minimum of 48 hours notice for rescheduling or cancelling an appointment is required as this helps to reduce any unnecessary costs or disappointment.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
