Stacey Coombes

Stacey Coombes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers a calm, judgement-free space for people facing relationship strain, divorce and separation, or other life stresses. She uses a warm, supportive style to help people talk through what feels heavy. Her first aim is to meet someone where they are and help them find manageable next steps.

Stacey works in an integrative way, drawing on several approaches to suit each person’s needs. She listens for patterns such as low self-esteem, anger, anxiety or impulsive behaviour, and helps people develop practical tools to manage day-to-day challenges. Conversations can include exploring attachment, emotions, and how past experiences shape current relationships.

Clients can expect someone who values empathy and steady pacing. She offers insight alongside simple techniques to try between sessions. The focus is on what helps a person move forward rather than on labels.

With ten years of experience and an NCPS credential, Stacey combines relational understanding with evidence-informed methods. She helps people navigate grief, trauma, parenting stresses, mood difficulties and career pressures, among other concerns. The work is tailored to each person’s pace and goals.

If someone is considering therapy after separation, bereavement or a big life change, Stacey aims to provide a clear-headed companion during that transition. She invites people to explore feelings, rebuild confidence and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Stacey draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress with practical exercises to practise between sessions.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections. This can help when intimacy, trust or repeated relationship patterns are causing pain. Client-Centred Therapy is another strand she brings in, offering a listening space where the person’s own goals guide the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Stacey works collaboratively to decide what fits a person’s needs and preferences, and may blend methods as the work unfolds. The focus is on clear goals and tools that feel useful in everyday life.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, and can allow for shorter check-ins or meetings when needed. Many people find that having therapy at a convenient time helps them keep momentum between sessions and apply what they learn in real situations.
