About Stacey

Stacey Farrell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, bipolar disorder and a range of life challenges. Stacey emphasises the strengths each person brings and treats clients as experts in their own lives.

Her work is practical and direct. She listens without judgement and helps people identify small, manageable steps to ease distress. Conversations may cover emotional coping, behaviour changes, and ways to rebuild routine after difficult events. Stacey aims to make the work feel approachable, steady and realistic.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Stacey also uses client-centred methods, prioritising the person’s goals and pace during sessions. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with breaking down unhelpful thinking and creating new habits.

Mindfulness practices are offered for grounding and reducing overwhelm when needed. Dialectical behaviour therapy tools can be used to manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day stability. Stacey adapts these approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula.

People often come for help with relationships, parenting strain, career stress, self-esteem, addiction or sleep and eating difficulties. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, dissociation, attachment issues and other complex concerns.

How Stacey's approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to spot patterns in relationships and build more helpful ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and goals, offering a supportive space to talk things through at the client's pace. This approach helps when the main need is to be heard and to clarify what matters most.

Cognitive behavioural methods are practical and action-oriented, focusing on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Online sessions can guide simple exercises between meetings, such as tracking moods or trying small behaviour experiments, to make progress between appointments. Stacey will work with the person to identify which methods suit their situation and adjust as progress is made; finding the right fit is a collaborative process carried out together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting sessions around work or family life and removing travel time so check-ins are shorter and more frequent if needed. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as they are not listed in the profile. Many people find remote work helps maintain continuity of care while juggling everyday commitments.
