About Stella
Her approach trusts that clients know their own lives best. She listens closely and reflects back what matters, helping people make sense of difficult feelings and choices. Stella uses client-centred methods alongside psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that began in earlier relationships and how they show up now.
She also practises hypnotherapy as a gentle tool for issues such as phobias and difficulties with sleep or eating. Trauma-focused techniques are used for those coping with past abuse or significant loss, with an emphasis on pacing and emotional safety. These methods are offered alongside mindfulness practices to help with stress and grounding.
Stella holds BACP registration, which is recorded here as BACP. She has three years of professional experience supporting a wide range of presenting issues. Sessions and choices about approach are shaped around each person’s needs and goals.
Taking the first step can feel hard. Stella supports people through that early stage, helping them try practical ways of coping and noticing change over time.
How Stella blends talking therapies and practical methods online
Stella draws mainly on person-centred work and trauma-focused therapy when supporting people online. Person-centred work means listening closely and offering an accepting space so people can make sense of their feelings and choices. Trauma-focused therapy involves carefully paced techniques to reduce the ongoing impact of past abuse or distressing events without forcing detailed re-telling.She also uses clinical hypnotherapy as a gentle option for issues such as phobias, sleep difficulties and some eating concerns; hypnotherapy focuses on guided relaxation and imagining alternative responses to triggers. These approaches are chosen to match the issue at hand and the person's comfort with different methods.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stella will discuss goals, preferences and any concerns, and together they will try methods that suit the individual's needs and pace.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also often makes it simpler to maintain continuity of support when schedules change.
