Stacey Coombes , NCPS

Stacey Coombes is an accredited integrative counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential, a qualification in counselling and psychotherapy, and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. Stacey creates a compassionate, non-judgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings, life changes, and long-held emotional patterns.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, anger, self-esteem and depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting and career challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on attachment issues, body image, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders, and postpartum depression.

Working in an integrative way, Stacey adapts therapeutic methods to each person rather than using a single fixed model. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to offer insight, practical tools, and emotional support. Stacey aims to walk alongside clients at a pace that feels manageable, helping them build clarity, self-compassion, and greater understanding of their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Stacey draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people clarify their values and develop practical strategies to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings, supporting work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed in early life and how they affect current relationships, making it useful for attachment issues, relationship concerns, and intimacy-related struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and the client’s own resources for change, offering a supportive environment for self-esteem, grief, and identity work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stacey works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, blending techniques where appropriate so the plan stays responsive to the client. Licensed professionals and therapists use this collaborative process to tailor care to the individual.

Online therapy can make that collaboration more accessible. Sessions by video call or phone preserve face-to-face connection, while live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for those with busy schedules or limited mobility. These options support continuity of care and allow people to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them.
