Stephen Weaver, MA BD Dipl.Psych. Dipl. Spvsn.

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist based in Blackfriars and close to St.Paul's in the City of London and in Rye, East Sussex.

Welcome to my website.

Counselling and Psychotherapy provide opportunities to talk in complete confidence and can transform problems into opportunities for personal growth.

Counselling is usually short-term with a specific goal. It is not about giving advice but about listening and helping people to find a better way of dealing with their problems.

Where a problem persists, psychotherapy explores issues in greater depth and involves longer-term work. It can help with the healing of old wounds and allow unrecognised qualities to emerge, which can change our lives.

As a therapist I try to be an effective listener, seeking to understand the world from your point of view and focussing on what is important for you. I offer a warm, safe and trusting space in which we can work together on making positive changes in your life.

I have worked in couple counselling, as a gay men's sexual health counsellor and as a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor for Employee Assistance Programmes and in private practice. I work creatively with dreams, artwork, writing and photography and I also use Mindfulness techniques.

I work from two convenient and attractive locations, offering daytime and evening appointments.

My London location is in Blackfriars, near to St.Paul's in the heart of the City .
My East Sussex location is in the centre of Rye.

I offer counselling and psychotherapy online, via Zoom and by phone.

I work with men and women, individuals and couples, straight and gay, young and old.

Over the best part of 20 years I have helped over 1,000 clients!

About Me

I was born in Warrington in 1960, went to school in Manchester and received degrees in English and theology from the Universities of Oxford and London.

I worked as a teacher before further studies, followed by 10 years' ministry as a priest in parishes, hospitals and university chaplaincy.

I was a counselling and psychotherapy client myself before training, first in couple counselling and then as a psychotherapist and supervisor.

For the past 20 years I have worked in private practice as a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor in London and Rye.

I have been registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) since 2002.

I receive regular supervision of my work, which is conducted in accordance with the Codes of Ethics and Practice of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
