Mitchell Stevens

He draws on his own lived experience to relate to people going through hard times and keeps a down-to-earth style in sessions. Before training as a therapist, he spent many years working in the music industry, and later supported people in the voluntary sector with homelessness, addiction and mental health.

That background gives him practical knowledge of complex life situations and creative pressures. The work in sessions is straightforward and conversational.

Mitchell uses approaches such as the Gottman Method for relationship matters, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside cognitive methods. He helps clients talk through anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and difficulties with identity and intimacy.

Mitchell says his own therapy shaped his way of helping others. He aims to make space for honesty, sometimes using humour, and to be a real person in the room.

He also draws on experience supporting stepfamily and blended family dynamics. Clients can expect a focus on what they want to change.

Mitchell supports practical steps and new ways of thinking, while also noticing patterns from the past. Sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs.

For people wanting to begin, he uses a simple online matching process to connect and arrange sessions according to availability.
