Steve Twinley, BACP

Steve Twinley is a BACP counsellor with over 15 years' experience supporting people who juggle demanding work with pressures at home. He draws on his background in recruitment and management to relate to busy lives and help people find better balance. Steve offers a straightforward, down-to-earth style and aims to build a trusting space for honest conversation.

He works with stress and anxiety and helps with addiction, family conflict and career concerns. Steve also supports people facing illness and chronic pain, attachment and abandonment issues, and challenges linked to autism. He uses psychodynamic counselling to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and choices.

Steve spent more than 17 years in recruitment, including as a managing director, so he understands workplace pressure and how it spills into family life. That experience informs his practical approach to mentoring and coaching alongside counselling.

In sessions he helps people notice repeating patterns, link past experiences to present reactions, and make clearer decisions about next steps. He aims to keep explanations plain and to suggest small, manageable changes rather than overwhelming plans.

Steve is based in the United Kingdom and works online with clients across the UK, United States and Europe. He holds a first-class degree in psychology from Oxford University, a diploma in psychodynamic counselling, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).

Using Psychodynamic Counselling Online

Psychodynamic counselling focuses on how early relationships and past experiences shape current patterns of thinking and feeling. It helps people notice repeated habits in relationships and reactions, and supports them to make different choices in work and family life.

Steve also brings a mentoring and coaching sensibility from his years in recruitment and management. That means sessions can include practical problem-solving for workplace pressures as well as exploring the emotional patterns that keep problems returning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which style and pace suit their goals and preferences. Together they will decide how therapy can best support everyday demands alongside longer-term change.

Please confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as no particular formats are listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy day, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pace and focus to match practical needs and life circumstances.
