Stephanie Wood , BACP

Stephanie Wood is a person-centred counsellor based in York who supports adults navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, grief, and other life transitions. With a warm, non-judgmental presence she creates a space for people to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace, encouraging self-awareness and personal growth rather than offering prescriptive solutions.

Her route into counselling followed a three-year course that led to a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and she has since built practical experience working with a range of clients through voluntary roles with local charities and within a rural GP practice. Prior professional experience in the performing arts and in educational settings has contributed to her strong communication and empathy skills, and she draws on that background when supporting clients who experience creativity-related self-doubt or performance anxiety.

Stephanie is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), holds an enhanced DBS certificate, and practices as a fully qualified and insured counsellor. She has three years of experience working with individuals on issues including self-esteem, trauma and abuse, addictions, LGBT concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Prospective clients can learn more about her approach and availability on her website or by making direct contact to explore whether they might work well together.
