About Stella
Stella Sacarello is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress and anxiety. She works with clients on self-esteem, motivation and coping with major life changes. She also supports those facing grief and loss as they navigate difficult emotions.
Stella is BACP registered, which means she follows the professional standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years of experience in practice in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients. Her core style is person-centred counselling. In sessions she creates space for people to tell their story, and she listens without judging.
The focus is on the client's own strengths and choices rather than on telling people what to do. Stella also works with concerns related to sexuality and LGBT matters, gender dysphoria, fertility and relationship structures such as polyamory or non-monogamous relationships. Other areas she supports include chronic illness or pain, immigration-related stress, family of origin issues and seasonal mood changes.
Practical session options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and the practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Person-centred counselling is at the heart of Stella's work. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what the client says and helps people find their own answers. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and life changes because it builds on the client's existing strengths.Alongside that core stance, Stella offers supportive conversation aimed at making day-to-day coping easier. This can include practical strategies to manage worry, sleep changes or motivation, and short-term techniques to reduce stress in moments of high anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Stella will work with the client to identify what feels useful and adapt the style over time. The plan is collaborative so goals, pace and methods reflect each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to arrange consistent appointments around work, family or mobility needs.
