Steve Abbott

Hello, my name is Steve. I am a qualified counsellor offering confidential and compassionate support for a wide range of personal and relationship challenges.

I am a person centred therapist but I may also bring ideas and use techniques from other styles of counselling too. I am a member of British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

I was, for many years, a trainer for a large national company, working with many different types of people and a wide range of skills. One thing that I find that connects my former role to that of a counsellor, is my belief that having a strong relationship with the person I am working with, is essential for getting the most out our time together.

I am also a volunteer at a local cancer charity supporting people living with cancer and/or their family members too.

I have experience either personally or having worked with, a wide range of subjects, some being anxiety, trauma, illness, involuntary childlessness, relationship issues.

I have completed several qualifications that support my work. They include:

• Foundation Degree (FdA) in Counselling

• Counselling Studies (CPCAB)

• Counselling Skills (CPCAB)

• Certificate accredited by COSRT in couple/relational therapy

• Certified trauma informed practitioner

• Certificate in working online

• Coaching qualification from the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM)
