Stephanie Parant

Hi, I'm Stephanie. I have a Masters in Counselling & Psychotherapy— a method grounded in the belief that understanding the unconscious mind and early life experiences can catalyse profound change. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative space, combining deep listening with insightful guidance. Sessions are tailored to suit each individual's unique history and needs, whether addressing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, or self-esteem concerns.

I completed a Certificate in Higher Education with Distinction, followed by a master's in science (MSc) - both qualifications in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I follow the BACP code of ethics.

I have professional indemnity insurance and am Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checked.

My therapeutic philosophy centres on a relational approach to working with clients. I prioritise building a secure and trusting partnership, where you feel supported and understood, before we begin to gently explore how your earlier experiences and relationships might be shaping your present choices, values, and beliefs. My holistic approach is designed to help you acknowledge and make room for difficult feelings and thoughts, especially those that may have been hard to untangle, make sense of, or share.

While we cannot alter the events of the past, we can change how we relate to them. I offer a safe environment where you can openly express your thoughts, worries, and fears, and together, we will navigate a path towards greater calm and hopefulness.

From my perspective and experience, embracing change can open the door to a fuller, more satisfying life. Change often begins with the awareness that something isn't quite as you wish, that there is space for growth or an issue to resolve. Let's embark together on a journey to rediscover your world and help you find your unique place within it.
