Stephen has a client-centred, exploratory approach to therapy, dedicated to fostering a supportive and validating environment for his clients. His practice is grounded in affirming and evidence-based methods, ensuring that his clients receive a high standard of care tailored to their specific needs, no matter their background or life challenges. Graduating with a Master of Clinical Psychology in 2016, Stephen addresses a wide range of presentations, including complex childhood trauma and personality disorders. His interest in these areas is complemented by his personal insights as a neurodivergent individual, being both autistic and having ADHD. This enhances his connection with clients who have similar neurodivergent experiences, fostering a deeper sense of empathy and validation in his therapeutic work. In addition to his individual therapy practice, Stephen works with couples to assist with relationship difficulties. His approach emphasises open communication, mutual understanding, and collaborative problem-solving. By integrating his knowledge of trauma individual differences with his skills in couples therapy, Stephen helps partners navigate their challenges and strengthen their relationships. His commitment to affirming and evidence-based practice remains at the core of his work, guiding his efforts to support clients in achieving their personal and relational goals. Stephen is trained in Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. He consults from Wayville on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
