About Stella

Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about worry, loss, stress and difficult life changes. Stella meets clients with respect and acceptance and supports them as they find their own way forward.

She offers straightforward talking therapy for issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and addictions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, parenting strain and sleep or eating difficulties.

Background and approach

Practical problems at work and the process of coping with ageing, chronic illness or major life events are also within her scope. Stella draws on person-centred practice alongside mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas to help people feel calmer and clearer. She also uses hypnotherapy and psychodynamic concepts when these suit a person’s needs.

Sessions tend to focus on listening, noticing patterns, and building small steps that fit into everyday life. The counselling style is gentle and collaborative rather than directive or diagnostic. Stella aims to empower people to make sense of their experiences and to try new coping strategies between sessions.

She believes the client is the expert on their life and offers steady support while change is worked out. Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be supported. Stella is recorded with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Ways of working Stella names

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

How Stella’s approaches work online

Stella uses person-centred practice to prioritise listening and acceptance, helping people feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and adjustment to life changes because it centres the person’s own goals and pace.

She also draws on trauma-focused ideas that aim to reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic events. These methods look at how memories and reactions continue to affect day-to-day life and offer techniques to lessen distress and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Stella works together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and temperament. That collaborative planning can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions provide flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face contact and richer non-verbal work, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing reflection and when people prefer not to use video. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
