Stephen (Steve) Rudkin, BACP, NCPS

Stephen uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening, non-judgemental space where the client sets the pace and topics. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through current problems and feel heard before making changes.

Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a practical tool to manage stress, anxiety and strong emotions. These techniques involve attention exercises and simple practices that can be used between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns from earlier life that repeat now. Online sessions can explore these patterns through gentle reflection to increase self-understanding and change long-standing reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Steve works collaboratively to choose methods that match the client's goals and preferences. He reviews what helps and adapts over time so sessions remain relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy provides flexibility for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging offers shorter check-ins and ongoing written support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
