Stacy Scarisbrick, BACP

Stacy Scarisbrick is a counsellor who works using practical, person-centred ideas. She is a BACP member, which means she follows the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy guidelines. Stacy keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.

Stacy helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing depression, addictions and relationship difficulties. Other concerns she addresses include trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and career worries.

Her way of working blends client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic thinking. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing when these suit someone’s goals. Sessions aim to be conversational and practical so people leave with clear next steps they can try between appointments.

Stacy has four years of experience in counselling practice across a range of emotional and life challenges. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment and communication issues, and helps people manage codependency, control issues and dissociation where these are present. She also supports people affected by domestic violence, miscarriage, birth trauma and caregiver stress.

People who want to begin simply choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability. Stacy works in English and accepts international clients, offering a variety of online session formats to suit different needs.

How Stacy’s approaches work online

Stacy uses client-centred work that prioritises listening and understanding. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the conversation around their own priorities and experiences. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices that can reduce stress and help with emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Stacy treats it as a shared task. She will talk through which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences, then adapt sessions as goals evolve. The collaborative plan can include short exercises, thought records or mindfulness practices to try between sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for in-depth conversations, while phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit times with less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief reflections, ongoing coaching-style support or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments.
