About Stella
Stella Scrivens is a person centred counsellor registered in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and related concerns such as depression, relationship strain and ADHD.
Stella focuses on listening and reflecting rather than directing. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them make sense of what they are facing. Sessions aim to be straightforward conversations about practical next steps as well as feelings.
Her practice includes gentle approaches that some people find useful when talking is difficult. Clinical hypnotherapy is used for specific difficulties such as phobias and fears. Trauma-focused methods are also part of her work for people affected by distressing events.
Stella uses Client-Centred Therapy and elements of psychodynamic thinking, including transaction analysis ideas about child and parent ego states. Mindfulness techniques are offered to support anxiety, sleep and stress management.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Stella blends person centred listening with targeted methods to support specific problems. Client-Centred Therapy here means a focus on the client’s own priorities and lived experience, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying rather than prescribing steps. This helps when someone finds social situations or speaking up difficult because sessions are paced by the client.Clinical hypnotherapy is offered as a gentle, goal-focused tool. It can be used for phobias, fear of flying and other specific fears by guiding attention and bodily relaxation to reduce distress during particular triggers. Trauma-focused methods are used when people want to address distressing events, with care taken to work at a pace the person can manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stella will discuss options with each client and decide together what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The profile does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time, making shorter check-ins easier to schedule or avoiding being on camera if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer ways to make sessions practical for a client’s routine.
