Stacey Farrell, BACP

Stacey Farrell is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who draws on six years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and bipolar challenges. She works from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work of change. Stacey aims to offer steady support for people taking that first difficult step towards a more satisfying life.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to the client and helps them make sense of difficult patterns. Stacey uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to identify thought and behaviour cycles. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and connections.

Mindfulness skills are woven into her approach to help people manage strong emotions and reduce rumination. Where appropriate, elements of dialectical behaviour therapy are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. The overall aim is to build skills people can use between sessions.

Stacey works collaboratively, setting goals together and checking in on progress. She supports people through life changes, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, addictions, parenting strain, and issues around identity, including LGBT topics. She also holds experience with complex presentations such as dissociation, domestic violence, and chronic health challenges.

Stacey is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through the service booking flow. To begin a pathway of support, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional reactions. It helps people understand patterns in closeness, trust and separation and is useful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing practical alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress to build clearer coping routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try approaches that fit the person’s needs. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans can be adjusted as things change.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as joining from a quieter place during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and means homework and skill practice can be reviewed straight after sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can guide choices about which approach and practical arrangements suit your situation.
