Stella Scrivens , BACP

Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She offers a warm, empathic and non-judgemental space where people can explore stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, grief and loss, and a broad range of life challenges. Stella meets each person with respect and acceptance, working from the belief that individuals are the experts on their own lives and that meaningful change grows from the client’s own insights.

Rather than directing or diagnosing, she aims to walk alongside clients, providing support and practical ways to make sense of difficult emotions and circumstances. Her practice seeks to empower people to find clearer thinking, renewed confidence and a more fulfilling day to day life. Stella is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her training and professional standing in the UK.

She integrates additional methods to suit each client, including Rewind therapy for trauma-related distress, transactional analysis to explore parent-child ego state dynamics, and clinical hypnotherapy for gentle intervention with phobias, specific fears such as fear of flying, and issues including weight management. Stella accepts new clients and works with both UK-based and international clients by offering flexible remote options to make therapy accessible across different life circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and healing

Stella uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, empathic environment where the client’s own perspectives guide the work. This approach helps people explore personal values, emotions and relationships while building self-awareness and resilience. She also incorporates trauma-focused techniques such as Rewind therapy to address distress linked to past traumatic events - approaches that aim to reduce the emotional impact of memories without requiring detailed verbal retelling. In addition, clinical hypnotherapy is offered as a gentle way to support targeted changes such as reducing phobic responses, easing specific fears like fear of flying, and assisting with behaviors related to weight management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Stella works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions and adapts techniques as understanding deepens over time.

Online therapy with Stella is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and life situations. These options make it possible to engage with licensed professionals from wherever a client is based, helping to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into everyday life.
