About Stella
Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings three years of professional experience and provides a warm, empathic, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult issues. Stella focuses on practical support so clients can begin to make sense of what they are facing and find ways forward.
She believes each person knows their own life best and aims to walk alongside clients rather than direct or diagnose. Stella uses person-centred principles to create respect and acceptance in sessions. That approach is intended to help people feel heard and understood while they work through stress, anxiety, grief or depression.
Stella also draws on trauma-focused methods, including Rewind therapy, which many people use to reduce the impact of distressing memories without detailed retelling. She offers clinical hypnotherapy as a gentle option for issues such as phobias, fears and some behaviour changes. These approaches are used alongside conversational, person-centred work and can be adapted to what each person needs.
Her experience covers a wide range of concerns, including addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and coping with life changes. Stella also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, chronic illness and carer stress. She aims to help people find manageable steps toward clearer thinking and calmer days.
Taking the first step can feel hard. Stella encourages straightforward conversations about goals and keeps the pace flexible so people can build confidence in the process.
How Stella’s approaches translate to online counselling
Stella combines person-centred work with trauma-focused methods and clinical hypnotherapy to support many kinds of concerns. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people talk through what matters to them; it can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Trauma-focused techniques such as Rewind therapy aim to reduce how distressing memories affect day-to-day life without detailed retelling. Clinical hypnotherapy offers a gentle way to address phobias, specific fears and some behavioural goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stella will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods might suit best. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and they can reduce time spent commuting. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when bandwidth or focus is limited, while others like video meetings for face-to-face contact. Discuss practical arrangements at first contact so sessions fit into daily life.
