About Stella
Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor who offers calm, respectful support for people facing stress, anxiety, loss and other life challenges. She works to create a warm, non-judgemental space so clients can talk through what matters to them and make sense of difficult feelings. Stella is listed for Men's wellbeing and accepts international clients while practising from the United Kingdom.
She believes each person knows their own life best and takes a collaborative approach. Stella aims to walk alongside clients rather than direct them, helping people find their own solutions and regain a sense of control. Her sessions focus on practical understanding and gentle support through change.
Stella has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work has covered a wide range of concerns including trauma, grief, addictions, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and parenting strains.
Her methods include client-centred work alongside hypnotherapy, psychodynamic ideas such as transactional analysis, mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches. She also uses Rewind therapy, described by some as a trauma-based technique that can offer closure without detailed disclosure.
Sessions seek to build trust and practical steps forward, whether that is better coping with anxiety, managing anger, or navigating major life changes. Stella encourages people to take the first small step and offers steady support as they move towards clearer goals.
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers. Online sessions using this approach tend to centre on open conversation and reflective listening to support personal insight and practical change.Hypnotherapy is a gentle method that uses relaxed attention and guided imagery to address phobias, habits and certain behavioural goals. In an online setting a counsellor guides the process while the person follows verbal cues to work on specific issues like fear of flying or weight management.
Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to process distressing memories and reduce their impact on daily life. Techniques can help a person develop new responses to triggers and build coping skills, and these can be adapted for remote work with careful pacing and collaboration.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and then suggest methods that fit the person. This is a joint process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
If you prefer online care, please confirm which session formats the counsellor currently offers before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats can also suit lower bandwidth or quieter conversations without a camera.
