About Stacey
Stacey Coombes is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Sessions also cover grief, trauma and abuse, eating and intimacy-related issues, and major life changes.
Stacey uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help notice unhelpful thinking and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based work and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional responses.
In practical terms, sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to change. Stacey offers tools and exercises as well as space to talk things through. She pays attention to patterns such as impulsivity, control issues, or recurring shame, and helps people try alternative responses in day-to-day life.
The work can include short exercises, behavioural experiments and checking how new strategies fit into normal routines. Stacey also addresses issues around parenting, career shifts, postpartum mood changes and veteran-related concerns when these come up.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven action. It is useful for anger, low mood and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are made together so the approach fits the client’s needs and everyday life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or make it simpler to access therapy without travel. Registered or accredited professionals will adapt exercises and behavioural experiments so they work across distance, and will check regularly that the approach remains helpful.
