Steven Manfredi, BACP

Steven Manfredi is a person-centered therapist based in the United Kingdom who draws on his own experience of therapy to guide his work with others. He trained to become a therapist after seeing the personal benefits of psychotherapy and now brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental style to each consultation.

With four years of clinical experience and hundreds of hours of professional practice, he supports people facing stress, anxiety and panic, depression, grief and loss, family and relationship conflict, and career or workplace difficulties. He also works with clients on issues related to self-esteem, confidence, intimacy, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD and a range of identity and life-stage concerns including LGBT matters, attachment and fatherhood issues.

Steven practises using a person-centered approach that places the client at the heart of the work, listening carefully and responding to what matters most to each individual. He also uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help clients build resilience, clarify goals and find practical ways forward. He is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his professional standing in the UK.

Known for treating people with respect, sensitivity and compassion, he tailors the therapeutic process to each person’s needs and priorities. He aims to support and empower clients as they take the courageous first steps toward change and a more fulfilling life.

Person-Centered, Mindful, and Solution-Focused Support Online

Steven uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s own priorities shape the work. This approach helps people explore feelings, clarify values and build self-understanding - it is often helpful for relationship issues, identity concerns and coping with life changes.

He also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and awareness practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, depression and managing strong emotions in daily life.

Solution-focused therapy is used to identify concrete goals and small, practical steps toward change. That approach works well for clients who want brief, goal-oriented work around issues like career decisions, problem-solving and improving communication.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Steven approaches this collaboratively. He will work with each client to understand their needs, goals and preferences and then tailor the mix of approaches to suit them.

Online therapy with Steven is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from where the client feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide meaningful, ongoing therapeutic work that focuses on progress and practical outcomes.
