About Stella

Stella Scrivens helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She works in a person-centred way and uses approaches including hypnotherapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic and trauma-focused methods. Stella is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Stella believes people know their own lives best and offers a counselling relationship based on respect and acceptance. In sessions she listens without judgment and supports clients to make sense of difficult feelings and situations. She does not direct or diagnose; instead she works collaboratively to identify what matters to each person.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as sleep and eating issues, parenting strains, anger and low self-esteem, career pressures, and coping with life changes including bereavement. Stella also lists a range of additional focus areas including attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

In practice she draws on client-centred principles alongside trauma-focused techniques and hypnotherapy. Mindfulness exercises are used where helpful to manage stress and anxiety. Psychodynamic ideas may be discussed to consider patterns that repeat over time.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Stella aims to help people try different ways of coping and to reflect on what brings change. International clients can be seen, and sessions are conducted in English.

How Stella uses her approaches in online sessions

Stella integrates client-centred work and trauma-focused techniques to help people tackle issues such as anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening, acceptance and supporting a person's own decision-making; it helps when someone needs to talk things through to find their own answers. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to process distressing experiences and reduce their ongoing impact, often by working gently with memories and responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stella will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods feel most appropriate for their goals and preferences. This collaborative way of working lets the counsellor adjust methods as progress is made or as needs change.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also let people use simpler arrangements such as audio-only sessions if that suits them better. Talk with the service to arrange the practical details that work for you.
