Background and approach

Sessions often include checking current thoughts and behaviours, noticing patterns from the past, and finding small steps that change day-to-day life. People contact her about stress and anxiety, low mood, relationship problems and issues linked to trauma and abuse. She also supports people with self-esteem, body image and addictions, plus life changes such as divorce or career transitions.

Stelina pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, isolation and abandonment when they come up. In sessions she offers space to talk things through without hurry. Conversations can range from practical problem-solving to exploring early experiences that still affect behaviour now.

She helps clients build skills they can use between appointments and checks progress together. Stelina aims to help people feel more in control and more connected to their values. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts her methods as goals change.

Her work is focused on practical change alongside deeper understanding.

Therapy approaches you can use online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard and begin to make changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stelina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That choice can shift over time as progress is reviewed and new issues arise.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you see facial expressions and body language, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, shorter reflections or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel without losing continuity of care.
