About Stephen
BACP counsellor and psychotherapist, 15 years' experience. Stephen Buck helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and sexual health topics including BDSM and kink. He also supports people dealing with parenting, career decisions, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and gender dysphoria.
Stephen works in a direct, conversational way. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), existential ideas, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on what is happening now, practical ways to cope, and clearer thinking about next steps.
He offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what someone needs. Meetings are collaborative: the person and Stephen set priorities together and review progress as they go. He also brings experience advising organisations on mental health and workplace coaching.
Stephen describes his approach as adaptable and respectful. He aims to be straightforward in session and to adjust the style of sessions to suit each person’s concerns. That can mean focused problem-solving, reflective exploration, or learning new habits to manage mood and anxiety.
People come to him with a wide range of issues, from acute stress and trauma to ongoing relationship or identity questions. He works in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered and how they fit your schedule.

How his approaches shape online work
Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and responding to what the person brings. It helps when someone needs a respectful, non-directive space to talk through feelings and relationships.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems such as sleeping or eating where practical strategies and exercises can reduce distress.
Mindfulness-based ideas teach ways to notice thoughts and body sensations without getting carried away by them. These techniques often support coping with stress, intrusive memories, and strong emotions.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Stephen will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as the work progresses.
Confirm the formats offered before booking as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, use similar tools in online sessions to help people learn new skills and address practical concerns.
