About Stella
Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, depression and other life changes. Stella offers a calm, warm manner so clients can speak openly about what matters to them.
Her practice focuses on listening and understanding rather than directing. She believes people know their own lives best and works alongside them to make sense of difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help clients recognise their strengths and find practical ways forward. Stella draws on a mix of therapeutic methods to suit different needs. She uses trauma-focused approaches such as Rewind therapy to help with traumatic memories without forcing detailed disclosure.
She also uses clinical hypnotherapy as a gentle option for issues like specific phobias, fear of flying and habits linked to weight. In addition, she integrates client-centred principles and psychodynamic ideas such as transactional analysis to look at inner patterns that affect behaviour. Mindfulness techniques are also used to build calm and reduce ongoing worry.
The combination is adapted to each person rather than applied the same way to everyone. People who want a straightforward, respectful space to explore anxiety, relationship strain, addictions, ADHD or life transitions may find this approach helpful. Stella encourages small, doable steps and works with clients to set goals they find meaningful.
How Stella’s approaches work online
Stella uses a blend of approaches that translate well to online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance so clients can talk through worries and make their own choices; it suits anxiety, stress and life changes. Trauma-Focused work such as Rewind therapy aims to ease the hold of traumatic memories without requiring detailed verbal reliving, which some people prefer when working remotely. Clinical hypnotherapy offers guided relaxation and suggestion to address specific issues like phobias or habit changes and can be delivered effectively via video or phone.Choosing a method is collaborative. Stella will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and suggest approaches that match their needs. The first few sessions often include a practical review to see what feels most helpful and to adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
Online formats provide practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer discreet, written ways to reflect between sessions or to fit support around a busy day. These options make it easier to access ongoing care from different locations and to pick the format that best fits day-to-day life.
