About Stephen Hobson

He works with issues that commonly arise after loss and bereavement, during periods of stress at work, and amid upheaval in personal life, guiding clients to process these experiences so they can better understand their emotional responses.

Through sessions focused on developing insight, Stephen helps clients re-evaluate unhelpful patterns and refine coping strategies to manage day-to-day challenges.

His work concentrates on building awareness, exploring difficult feelings like guilt and shame, and strengthening coping skills in order to reduce distress and improve overall self-regard.
