About Stephanie
Stephanie "Steph" Preston is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She focuses on everyday stresses like anxiety, low mood, and relationship strain, and helps people regain confidence and motivation. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she tailors conversations to each person's needs.
Steph keeps sessions straightforward. She will talk through past experiences when that helps to spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.
Background and approach
That understanding is used to build small, practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. She often supports people working through grief and loss, or wrestling with commitment and family problems. Steph also helps people explore life purpose and develop greater self-love.
Sessions are aimed at helping people notice what matters to them and act on it. Her style is collaborative and non-judgemental. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, realistic goals.
Progress is discussed openly so adjustments can be made when needed. If someone is nervous about starting, Steph focuses on making the first sessions simple and manageable. The early meetings are about understanding what matters now and agreeing practical next steps.
Over time the work moves from understanding to building reliable day-to-day routines and ways of thinking that support change.

Online support
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. It helps people who are questioning purpose, dealing with loss, or facing big life decisions. The work often involves honest conversation about values and what matters now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steph will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan that matches goals and preferences. This is done together so sessions fit what the person needs and want to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video gives a face-to-face style interaction, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still getting regular, focused support from a registered professional.
