Steve Twinley, BACP

Steve Twinley is a BACP-accredited counsellor with more than 15 years of experience supporting people who are juggling the pressures of work with challenges at home. He brings a practical, down-to-earth style to his work, helping clients address stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict and career difficulties while creating a non-judgmental space for people to explore their thoughts and feelings.

Before moving into counselling, Steve spent over 17 years in the recruitment sector and progressed to Managing Director of a staffing agency. That business background gives him direct insight into the demands of high-pressure roles and the realities of balancing career responsibilities with personal life.

His clinical training includes a diploma in psychodynamic counselling, and he holds a first-class degree in psychology from the University of Oxford. He is a full member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and also holds certificates in solution-focused and time-limited therapy. Steve has volunteered as a Samaritan, which complements his work in counselling, mentoring and coaching.

Trained in psychodynamic approaches, he helps clients recognise recurring patterns of behaviour and make connections between past experiences and present choices so they can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. He offers counselling and mentoring online, including sessions outside standard working hours, and approaches each client with kindness, understanding and practical support.
