About Stella

Stella Hendricks is a UK-based counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and sleep problems. She has five years of hands-on experience and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is uncertain or worried. Stella works in English and accepts international clients who prefer online sessions.

She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in a person's life.

Background and approach

That means talking about past experiences and how they shape current feelings and choices. This can help people understand why they react a certain way and find different responses over time. Stella also uses attachment-informed ways of working to consider how early bonds affect adult relationships.

This helps when difficulties include trust, intimacy-related issues, or recurring relationship conflict. The focus is on noticing patterns rather than blaming oneself. Sessions can address a wide range of concerns, from grief and trauma to career or parenting stress.

Stella pays attention to the practical effects on daily life, such as sleep, motivation and coping with change. She aims to move at the person's pace and adapt to their needs. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental.

Conversations are intended to be clear and straightforward so people can make small, realistic steps forward. Reaching out is framed as a courageous choice and the work begins from there.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Stella commonly uses psychodynamic therapy to help people uncover repeated emotional patterns and understand why they respond the way they do. This approach looks at past experiences and current feelings to make sense of ongoing difficulties such as low mood, anxiety or persistent relationship problems.

She also works from an attachment-informed perspective which examines how early bonds shape adult connections. That can be helpful for issues around trust, intimacy-related concerns and communication problems, by identifying how attachment styles influence behaviour in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Stella discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods so sessions feel useful and manageable. The choice of approach is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussion and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or those who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on the goals you set with your therapist.
