About Stella
Stella's practice draws on person-centred counselling. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and works to create a space where people can think things through without pressure. Conversations are paced to suit the client and aim to build confidence and clearer choices.
She has three years of professional experience supporting people through major transitions, bereavement and everyday strain. Stella also works with concerns connected to chronic pain, illness and disability, fertility and gender dysphoria, and issues that arise from prejudice or discrimination. Her experience includes helping people navigate relationship changes such as divorce and non-monogamous arrangements.
In sessions she focuses on what matters now. That can mean listening and reflecting, helping someone notice patterns, or supporting steps to cope better day to day. The goal is to leave each session with something actionable and more clarity about next steps.
Sessions are offered in English, and Stella works online using a range of formats. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session help set out practical goals and a way forward.

Person-centred care and online therapy options
Stella uses person-centred counselling which focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a reflective space to understand feelings, build confidence and make decisions at their own pace.She also works with practical, evidence-based techniques to help manage stress and anxiety, such as grounding and problem-solving methods that reduce overwhelm and create clear next steps. These techniques are brief and can be used between sessions to cope day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Stella will work collaboratively with each person to decide what helps most. Together they set goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan as needs change.
Online therapy gives flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to access support from home, work or elsewhere while keeping sessions practical and focused.
