Stacey Farrell, BACP

Stacey Farrell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, bipolar disorder and related concerns. Stacey aims to help clients find clearer ways forward and build on their existing strengths.

She describes clients as the experts of their own stories and focuses on practical steps that feel manageable. In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people try new ways of coping. Stacey balances focused skill-building with room to process painful events.

Her background includes practice with a range of emotional and behavioural difficulties, such as addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, body image and chronic illness concerns. The list of focus areas reflects the variety of difficulties she has helped people address.

Stacey uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based work to look at relational patterns, client-centred methods to follow the person’s priorities, and cognitive behavioural tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness and dialectical skills also appear when useful for managing emotion and building tolerance.

She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and works in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the usual process.

How Stacey uses evidence-based approaches online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and supports changes in how they relate to others. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pace, giving space for people to lead the conversation and name what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through clear exercises and practical homework.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stacey will work collaboratively to choose and adapt methods that match the person’s goals, preferences and what comes up in sessions. Together they review what helps and alter the plan if needed to make progress feel realistic.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check which session formats are available before booking. The practical benefits often include fitting sessions around work or family life, keeping appointments that might otherwise be hard to reach, and using shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it easier to use written tools, worksheets and between-session tasks, helping people practise new skills in daily life. Confirm the current session options when you start so you know how sessions will be arranged.
