About Stella
Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, grief and other life difficulties. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental and aims to help people feel heard and understood.
Stella works from the belief that each person knows their life best. She does not direct or diagnose; she listens and supports people as they find their own solutions.
Background and approach
Her style focuses on building a trusting relationship so difficult feelings can be examined without pressure. Her background includes three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses client-centred methods alongside psychodynamic ideas to consider how past relationships shape present feelings.
This helps when people are dealing with attachment issues, abandonment or patterns that keep recurring. Stella also offers trauma-focused techniques aimed at reducing the emotional hold of painful memories. She combines these with clinical hypnotherapy when appropriate, for issues such as phobias, fears and habits that someone wants to change.
Mindfulness practices feature too, helping people manage anxious thoughts and improve sleep. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Stella aims to support clearer thinking, steadier mood and more manageable day-to-day coping.
She encourages practical steps alongside longer-term reflection so people can make real changes in their lives.

Approaches Stella lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach often happens together over the first few sessions. Stella will talk through options, listen to your goals and suggest techniques that match what you hope to achieve. The plan can change as you learn what feels most helpful and comfortable for you.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, making therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and guided exercises. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can be a shorter way to check in or reflect between longer sessions. These online options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical coping.
