Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. With five years of experience, Stella has supported people through trauma, addictions, sleep problems and issues with self-esteem. She pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes each person’s concerns and coping strategies.

This helps her tailor conversations and practical exercises to the individual. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client, with simple goals and clear next steps. Stella prefers to work in a way that balances emotional exploration with practical strategies, such as short experiments between meetings and skills to manage everyday stress.

People who choose Stella can expect a calm, patient presence and straightforward feedback. She offers English-language sessions online by video, phone, chat or messaging and will help clients decide which format best fits their routine and needs.

How Stella uses practical therapy online

Stella commonly combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps build trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers concrete ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Stella discusses options with each person and adapts methods to match their goals, background and day-to-day life. This collaborative process makes it easier to try small changes and review what helps.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are good for a conversation that feels close to face-to-face, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit lunch breaks or travel. Chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reflections between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
