About Stella

Stella Sacarello is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers approachable, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes. Stella also helps with LGBT concerns and grief, guiding clients through difficult moments with steady, respectful care.

She uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the heart of each session. Stella treats people as the experts on their own lives and works to build on existing strengths.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can take between sessions. Stella has three years of professional experience and draws on that time to offer calm, consistent support. She aims to create a space where people can speak freely, reflect on choices and try out new ways of coping.

Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs. Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond stress and anxiety, including chronic pain, fertility and immigration issues, gender dysphoria, sexual assault and relationship styles such as polyamory. Stella is also familiar with challenges like isolation, prejudice and Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Sessions are conducted in English and available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Practical arrangements and fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Stella lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Person-centred work and online sessions

Stella bases her practice on person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of change, grief or identity questions and benefits people who want a non-directive, strength-based process.

Many clients also respond well to simple, practical coping techniques alongside reflective talking. These may include paced breathing or brief grounding exercises to manage anxiety, and setting small, achievable goals to rebuild confidence. Such techniques are used to support day-to-day coping and to help maintain progress between sessions.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Stella will discuss different approaches and decide together what fits best with the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape each session and the overall plan for progress.

Online therapy with Stella is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation time, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messages allow ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and health demands.
