About Stella

Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, grief and other difficult feelings. Stella emphasises respect and acceptance and aims to help each person find a clearer way forward.

With three years of professional experience she has worked with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, addictions, depression and relationship concerns. She describes her role as walking alongside clients rather than directing them, and focuses on empowering people to make sense of what they are facing.

Her practice draws on several therapeutic approaches. Client-Centred Therapy guides how she listens and responds, while clinical hypnotherapy offers a gentler route for some issues such as phobias and weight management. She also uses trauma-focused techniques that aim to reduce distress linked to past events.

Stella is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which she lists as her professional credential. She works with people coping with bereavement, family and parenting strains, body image concerns, sleep problems, anger and many other everyday struggles.

Sessions are carried out in English and she accepts international clients. If you are considering support, Stella suggests taking a first step to see whether her way of working feels like a good fit for you.

How Stella's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on clear, attentive listening and compassion. The counsellor follows the person's lead and offers reflections that help people clarify their thoughts and feelings. This approach is useful for stress, relationship concerns and general emotional support.

Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to address issues such as phobias, fear of flying and weight management. It is presented here as a gentle, practical option some people choose alongside talking therapy.

Trauma-focused techniques aim to reduce the intensity of distress tied to past events. These methods are used to help people who carry strong reactions after trauma or abuse, helping them feel less overwhelmed by memories and day-to-day triggers.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they fit what matters most to the client.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter arrangement to focus on the work.
