Stella Scrivens , BACP

Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She creates a warm, empathic and non-judgemental space where people can explore stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, grief and loss, and other life challenges. Stella works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life, and she positions her role as walking alongside clients rather than directing or diagnosing them.

Her approach emphasises genuine respect and acceptance, helping clients to make sense of the issues they face and to find ways forward that feel meaningful to them. Stella is trained in Rewind therapy, a trauma-focused method often described as a way to achieve closure without detailed verbal disclosure, and she also draws on transactional analysis to explore child and parent ego states when that is helpful.

Stella is trained in clinical hypnotherapy, a gentle technique that can support a variety of concerns including phobias, fear of flying, and weight management. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Stella accepts new clients and offers support for a broad range of presenting issues, working collaboratively to support clients toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Stella integrates client-centred therapy, hypnotherapy and trauma-focused techniques to support clients in online settings. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting atmosphere where clients are invited to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace - this approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem concerns. Clinical hypnotherapy offers a gentle, guided process that can assist with phobias, fears such as fear of flying, and behavioural goals like weight management. Trauma-focused methods such as Rewind therapy provide structured ways to address traumatic memories and the emotional impact of abuse or loss without requiring detailed disclosure.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Stella works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt techniques so the work feels appropriate and manageable.

Online therapy with Stella is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit appointments around work, family and other commitments. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to continue therapy when in-person sessions are not convenient.
