Stella Scrivens, BACP

Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, empathic space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship worries and other concerns. Stella aims to meet each person with respect and acceptance so they can work through what matters to them.

Stella values the idea that people know their own lives best. She does not direct or diagnose; instead she walks alongside clients and helps them make sense of difficult experiences. Sessions focus on understanding feelings and finding practical ways to move forward.

Her background includes three years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses client-centred principles alongside other approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Stella also uses hypnotherapy as a gentle option for issues such as specific phobias and weight concerns. She works with trauma-informed methods that aim to help people process past events without needing to give full verbal accounts.

People seeking help for sleeplessness, low mood, addictive behaviours, parenting strain, ADHD or intimacy-related worries may find her approach useful. The early sessions focus on building trust and setting goals, and subsequent sessions concentrate on practical steps and coping strategies.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Stella draws on client-centred practice and clinical hypnotherapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a non-judgemental atmosphere so people can explore feelings and decide on steps that fit their life. Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and suggestion to address specific issues such as phobias or weight concerns in a gentle way.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stella will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for the individual.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Sessions can be useful for working on anxiety, sleep problems, grief and many trauma-related issues when the therapist and client agree on a clear plan and pacing.
