About Mitchell

Mitchell Stevens is a counsellor and therapist with 12 years of clinical experience and membership of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). He offers online counselling in English to adults aged 18 and over. His background includes roles with nationwide UK organisations supporting people facing homelessness, addiction and mental health difficulties, plus community counselling in Kent.

Mitchell draws on his own recovery and personal therapy to guide his style. He aims for straightforward conversations that feel honest and human. Sessions are conversational and practical, with space to reflect on feelings, behaviour and relationships.

He works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and issues around identity and sexual orientation. He also addresses relationship strains, parenting stresses, grief, low self-esteem and neurodiversity-related matters such as autism and ADHD.

Mitchell uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. He frames these methods in everyday terms and adapts them to each person’s situation rather than following a single script.

His earlier career in the music industry and experience with blended and modern family life inform a practical, down-to-earth way of working. People can expect a direct but warm presence who values humour and plain speech alongside serious exploration.

Step 3

How Mitchell’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people commit to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It can help with trust, intimacy and managing difficult relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mitchell aims to agree with each person which methods to try, adjusting choices as needs and goals become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life. It can reduce travel and allow sessions around work or family commitments. Because session formats were not specified in the original biography, confirm the available options before booking. The therapist and client will discuss what suits practical needs, such as shorter check-ins, sessions without video or timings that work across time zones.
