Stacey Coombes , NCPS

Stacey Coombes is an accredited integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works from an integrative framework, combining therapeutic methods to suit each person - tailoring sessions to individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Stacey holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that reflects her training and commitment to ongoing practice.

She offers calm, compassionate support for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, anger and impulsive behaviour, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating-related concerns, parenting and family problems, bipolar disorder, and challenges linked to major life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, body image, communication and control problems, isolation and loneliness, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Stacey aims to walk alongside clients, providing empathy, practical tools and insight while respecting each person’s pace. Her work emphasises collaboration, helping people explore difficult emotions, repair relationships, and build skills to manage everyday pressures and long-standing patterns. She creates a supportive space for people who are ready to take steps toward greater clarity, compassion and self-understanding.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values. It is often used to address anxiety, stress and patterns that get in the way of living a meaningful life.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in early connections and how they affect current relationships. This approach can help people who struggle with intimacy, trust, communication problems or long-standing attachment issues.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-directive, empathetic relationship in which the therapist offers understanding and support so the client can explore and find their own solutions. It is useful for building self-esteem, processing emotions and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stacey works collaboratively to identify methods that fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together, they will review what resonates and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family or other commitments. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or while travelling, support continuity when life changes occur, and allow clients to choose the format that helps them engage most effectively with their therapist.
