Stacey CoombesNCPS

Stacey Coombes is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people during stressful life phases. She offers calm, non-judgemental support for worries like anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and relationship strain. Stacey also works with grief, trauma and postpartum depression and helps people facing big changes or ongoing emotional challenges.

Stacey uses an integrative approach and draws on a range of methods to suit each person. She listens first to understand what matters to the individual and then suggests practical steps to try between sessions. Work with her might include noticing unhelpful patterns, processing painful memories, or practising small changes in thinking and behaviour.

Her background includes ten years of clinical experience and registration with NCPS, which is shown as NCPS in her credentials. That experience informs a steady, empathic style and a focus on clarity and small, achievable goals. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client’s needs.

Stacey commonly addresses attachment issues, body image, communication and control problems, and supports people navigating divorce or separation and domestic violence aftermath. She also helps with parenting strain, career stress, and mood disorders including bipolar and postpartum difficulties.

If someone wants to explore therapy with Stacey they start by answering a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. The process is presented as straightforward and collaborative, so newcomers can begin with a clear next step.

How Stacey’s approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and helps people change unhelpful interaction patterns. It can be helpful for intimacy concerns and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy means the therapist offers warm, non-judgemental presence and follows the client’s pace, which supports people who need time to open up and make sense of their feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed over time so the plan can change if something isn’t helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar environment or who want to try talking before moving to longer meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can use a range of approaches remotely, and the therapist will explain the practical set-up when arranging the first session.
