About Stella
Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, empathic, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and a broad range of life difficulties. Stella presents herself as a supportive companion rather than an authority, and she aims to help people feel heard and understood.
With three years of professional experience, Stella uses several therapeutic tools alongside her person-centred stance. She draws on trauma-focused methods such as Rewind therapy to help people process difficult memories without needing to retell every detail. She also practises clinical hypnotherapy as a gentle option for issues like phobias and habit change.
Her work often includes mindfulness-based techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings in the moment. Stella also uses psychodynamic ideas and transactional analysis to look at recurring patterns and how early relationships influence current behaviour. These approaches are used to help people make sense of long-standing struggles such as codependency, attachment issues and relationship difficulties.
Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, with the counsellor following the person's lead and offering reflective listening and practical options. The aim is to help people build clearer choices and stronger coping skills for everyday life.
Stella is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and works in English. People interested in starting can complete a short matching questionnaire to find a suitable way forward.
Therapeutic approaches that suit online work
Stella uses person-centred practice to create a calm and accepting space where the client leads the conversation. This approach helps people who need to feel heard and respected while they work through stress, anxiety or relationship concerns.She also draws on trauma-focused methods such as Rewind therapy, which aims to ease the emotional charge of troubling memories without repeated narrating. This can be helpful for people coping with trauma, abuse or persistent distress linked to past events.
Clinical hypnotherapy is another option she offers, delivering gentle, focused work for problems like phobias or habit change. Hypnotherapy sessions tend to use guided relaxation and imagery to help shift unhelpful patterns over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stella will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. The decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
