About Stella

Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She offers a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through difficult experiences and start to make small changes. Stella works in English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.

She meets people with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, addictions, depression, eating and sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image worries and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Stella lists attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and career issues among areas she attends to.

Stella describes her way of working as collaborative. She believes people are the experts in their own lives and does not direct or diagnose. Instead she listens, reflects and helps clients make sense of patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Her manner is warm, empathic and non-judgemental.

Her background includes three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also uses approaches such as hypnotherapy and trauma-focused techniques alongside person-centred practice.

Clients can expect practical conversation, paced to what feels manageable. Sessions aim to build understanding, reduce overwhelm and support each person to try different ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.

How Stella’s approaches work online and what to expect

Stella uses client-centred practice, which focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. This approach helps people feel heard and clearer about their goals, and it can be useful for stress, anxiety, relationship and self-esteem concerns. She also uses trauma-focused methods that aim to help people process difficult memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life. These approaches tend to move at the pace the client can tolerate and focus on practical ways to feel steadier. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Stella will discuss what matters to you, try out different ways of working and adjust methods based on your needs and preferences. The choice of techniques evolves from conversations about what helps and what feels manageable. If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the available formats when you book since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. Some approaches translate well to remote work because they rely on conversation and guided exercises rather than physical materials. Stella aims to help you use online sessions in a way that fits your life and supports steady progress.
