About Stephanie Wood
Trained as a counsellor after an earlier career in the performing arts, Stephanie draws on strong communication and empathy skills developed as an actor and through many years working in educational settings. She completed a three-year course and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and has gained practical experience supporting a wide range of clients through voluntary roles with local charities and in a rural GP practice.
Therapy with Stephanie is non-directive - she does not provide ready-made solutions but instead creates a respectful environment where clients can reflect, discover new perspectives, and make their own choices. Her background gives her particular insight into the insecurities and self-doubt that can affect creative people, and she takes satisfaction in helping clients build self-awareness, emotional freedom, and personal growth.
Stephanie practices from Dragonfly Counselling in York and is a fully qualified and insured counsellor. She holds an enhanced DBS certificate and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.
