About Steven

Steven Robison is a BACP counsellor based in Scotland with seven years' experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem and adapting to life changes. Steven helps people who are looking to reduce reactive responses and rebuild steadier day-to-day coping.

He trained at The College of Holistic Medicine in Glasgow using an integrated Core Capacity Approach that brought together client-centred, cognitive behavioural and Gestalt ideas. That training included three years of focused study on personal development and human functioning. Steven uses this background to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and to try out different ways of responding.

Sessions are conversational and practical. He encourages exploration of how early relationships and attachment styles shape current reactions. He also offers clearer tools from cognitive behavioural work to manage unhelpful thinking and impulsive behaviour.

Mindfulness and present-moment awareness are used alongside talking work to help people be less driven by sudden emotion. He places attention on building self-awareness, pacing change, and developing small, manageable habits that reduce anger and reactivity.

Steven frames therapy as a collaborative process. He invites people to identify realistic goals, to practise between sessions, and to notice gradual shifts. For anyone wanting to start, he asks that they complete the short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session via the online booking flow.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can be used to trace those patterns and try new ways of relating to difficult feelings like anger. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to find their own answers. In remote sessions this often means reflective conversation that helps people build awareness and decide practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives concrete techniques to change thinking and behaviour patterns. Used online, CBT can include short exercises, guided reflection and homework tasks to reduce impulsive responses and unhelpful thoughts. Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help weigh different methods based on a client's goals, preferences and what feels workable in day-to-day life. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discuss practical arrangements in your first meeting to make sessions fit with everyday life.
