Stelina Doko, BACP

Stelina Doko trained in counselling and coaching and brings that background into her therapy work. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Counseling and Coaching and is working towards a Master’s in Advanced Psychotherapy. Stelina offers calm, practical support for people facing hard moments in life.

She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps with relationship strain, grief, addiction and issues around self‑esteem and body image. Parents worried about parenting pressures and people coping with life changes can expect straightforward tools and steady encouragement.

Stelina uses a mix of approaches, including client‑centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, psychodynamic thinking and solution‑focused strategies. Sessions balance talking things through with hands‑on strategies you can try between meetings. She frames therapy around each person’s needs rather than a single method.

Her practice is practical and goal oriented. Some sessions look at how past experiences affect current feelings, while others focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building small, manageable steps forward. She pays particular attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when they arise.

Stelina works in English, Albanian and Italian and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more capable of handling life’s challenges.

How different approaches work online

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. Online sessions give space for open conversation and help people feel heard while they work through their concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to try between appointments; this translates well to online video or messaging because homework and thought records can be shared and reviewed easily.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using psychodynamic ideas to explore past patterns, or concentrating on solution‑focused steps to solve a current problem. Choices can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversations when needed, phone sessions work for people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat suits shorter check‑ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and let people keep continuity of care even when schedules change.
