How Stephen works
Stephen uses the Authentic Life Audit to look at key areas of a client's life. These include identity, relationships, health and well-being, habits, career and purpose, finances, and surroundings.

Together, he and the client pick the areas that matter most and set realistic steps. Sessions rely on questions, honest reflection and accountability.
