About Stacy
Stacy Scarisbrick is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses practical talking therapies to help people manage stress and anxiety. She holds BACP accreditation, which means she follows the professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Stacy writes in a straightforward, warm way and aims to keep sessions calm and focused.
Stacy draws on a mix of approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas.
Background and approach
In a session she listens first, then helps people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour. She often pairs that work with mindful strategies to reduce tension and improve sleep. People come to her for many concerns, such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and addiction.
She also supports issues around body image, parenting stress, work-related pressure and recovery after domestic violence or sexual abuse. Stacy aims to help clients build practical coping skills and clearer ways of relating to others. Sessions are conversational and down to earth.
The focus is on what the person wants to change and on small steps that feel manageable. She encourages people to try different strategies and notice what helps. Stacy has four years of clinical experience and works remotely with individuals in English.
She accepts international clients and offers a variety of online session formats to suit different needs and lifestyles.
How her approaches work online
Stacy uses client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy to support people online. Client-centred work means the counsellor follows the person's lead, listens without judgement and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness techniques are often blended in to teach grounding and breathing skills that calm the body and aid sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stacy will discuss goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try first. That collaborative process means plans can change if something does not feel like the right fit, and the client helps steer what happens next.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and work more like an in-person meeting. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break from work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or for people who find typing easier than speaking. These options give flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy in regular weekly or fortnightly slots.
