THERAPY and ASSESSMENT
Steve Hewitson, Clinical Psychologist
B Psychology (Hons), M Psychology (Clinical)
Finding the right psychologist can feel daunting. Research consistently shows that one of the most important factors in successful therapy is feeling understood, respected, and comfortable with your therapist.
Steve aims to create a space where people can talk openly without fear of judgement. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck in life, his approach is collaborative, practical, and compassionate.
Steve is a warm and experienced Clinical Psychologist who helps adults and adolescents overcome emotional and behavioural challenges to live more fulfilling lives.
Steve works with adults who feel stuck in painful patterns shaped by early life experiences or trauma. Many client’s may not have clear memories of childhood. Many of his clients have struggled for years with low mood, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, and some have tried therapy before without the lasting change they were hoping for. Steve uses evidence-based approaches - including Schema Therapy, ACT, and CBT - to help people process their past, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with a more meaningful, satisfying life.
Steve also works with adolescents and their families to support with anxiety, depression or behaviour difficulties. His approach is holistic and practical - helping parents feel more confident in managing challenges, while teaching adolescents strategies to better understand and regulate their emotions.
Clients often describe Steve as calm, thoughtful, down-to-earth, and genuinely committed to their growth. He continues to develop his skills through ongoing professional training, with a focus on trauma-informed approaches that support healing at a deeper level.
Outside of work, Steve enjoys playing guitar, going to the gym, and playing baseball.
What to expect
Your First Session
Many people feel nervous before seeing a psychologist for the first time.
You don't need to know exactly what to say or have everything worked out beforehand.
During the first appointment we'll talk about:
what has been happening
what you would like help with
your background and life circumstances
what you would like to get from therapy
There is no pressure to discuss anything before you're ready.
The goal of the first session is simply to begin understanding your situation and decide together what may be most helpful moving forward.
A tailored approach
It’s essential for us to tailor our treatment plan for each individual and to track how each client is doing over time. To do this, we develop a collaborative formulation and treatment plan that outlines what the problems are and what keeps them going. Progress is tracked through feedback-informed treatment, an evidence-based approach to measuring client progress. These methods ensure the best outcomes for our clients.
