About Stella
Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She has three years of professional experience and offers a calm, respectful space for people facing difficult emotions and life changes. Stella aims to help clients make sense of their situation and find practical ways forward.
She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and anger. Other areas she addresses include addictions, sleep and eating concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family-related worries, and challenges linked to ADHD and career change.
Stella’s work is grounded in person-centred principles that focus on listening without judgement and treating the client as the expert on their own life. She uses clinical hypnotherapy as a gentle option for things like phobias and fears, and she incorporates trauma-focused techniques to help with past painful events. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas such as transactional analysis to explore patterns that come from earlier life experiences.
Her style is warm and empathic, aiming to support people as they discover what feels useful for them. She does not direct or diagnose but walks alongside clients while they work through their concerns. Stella encourages small, practical steps that can fit into everyday life.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Stella presents a steady, non-judgemental presence to help people move towards more manageable days.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Stella draws on person-centred work and trauma-informed techniques in her practice. Person-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening, empathy and helping the client find their own answers, which can be effective for issues like anxiety, relationship concerns and low self-esteem. Trauma-focused approaches aim to safely address past distress so it has less impact on day-to-day life and can be helpful for people affected by abuse or significant loss.She also offers clinical hypnotherapy as a gentle option for specific problems such as phobias or fears. Hypnotherapy usually involves guided relaxation and imagery to support new ways of responding to triggers or worries rather than directly discussing every detail of an event.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and comfort levels, and together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and manageable.
The original biography does not specify which online session types are available, so please confirm the exact formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose settings that help them focus. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work well in remote sessions while working with each person’s pace and practical constraints.
