About Stella

Stella Hendricks is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, sleep problems and shifts in motivation. Stella works with people facing grief, trauma, parenting strain and other life changes.

She practises from a psychodynamic perspective. That means sessions look at the deeper patterns and past experiences that influence feelings and behaviour today. Conversations aim to reveal repeating cycles so people can try different responses and feel less stuck.

Background and approach

Stella also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early bonds shape current relationships. That approach is useful when people notice patterns in closeness, trust or conflict. It can help with intimacy-related worries and communication problems.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Stella encourages people to go at a comfortable pace and talk about what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside exploring emotions and history.

Stella holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. She has five years of professional experience. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients who prefer online work.

If someone is unsure where to begin, Stella suggests starting with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. That initial step helps identify priorities and build a plan that fits each person’s life.

How Stella uses online therapy and relational approaches

Stella blends psychodynamic ideas with attachment-based thinking to explore how past experiences shape present feelings and relationships. Psychodynamic work focuses on uncovering recurring patterns and emotional habits, helping people see why they react a certain way and open up room for change. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence trust, closeness and communication, which can be useful for intimacy-related worries and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stella collaborates with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their goals and preferences. Together they try ways of working and adjust the focus as understanding grows and needs change.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow fuller conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can fit into busy days and help keep momentum between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so people can make therapy fit their routine and comfort.
