Candida Stevens is a registered psychotherapist and ICF-accredited transformative coach. Her approach is integrative, drawing on psychotherapy, coaching and nervous system regulation to help people better understand themselves and create meaningful change.

She holds an MSc in Business Psychology and trained as a psychotherapist with the Human Givens Institute. She is also a trained ADHD clinical services provider and assessor, and has completed further training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and CBT for Insomnia. She volunteers with Macmillan Cancer Support and works with the charity PTSD Resolution.

Candida first began training as a psychotherapist in 2002, before having children. She went on to build a varied career across business, education and the arts, founding an online fashion business and running a contemporary art gallery, while her interest in how people think, feel and change remained a constant thread. This eventually brought her back to psychotherapy and the work she does today.

The UNDERSTANDING YOUR MIND series grew from a simple belief: that greater self-understanding leads to greater self-compassion, and that small shifts in awareness can have a profound impact on how we experience our lives.
