Stella Hendricks, BACP

Stella Hendricks is a UK-credentialed therapist with BACP accreditation, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and five years of professional experience supporting people through challenges with self-esteem, confidence, relationships, stress and anxiety, sleep difficulties, and motivation. She draws on her clinical background to create a calm, attentive environment where concerns can be explored openly and without judgment.

Working from a psychodynamic perspective, Stella focuses on the underlying patterns, early experiences, and emotional dynamics that shape how someone thinks, feels, and relates in the present. This way of working aims to increase awareness of repeating patterns and to open up possibilities for more constructive ways of relating to oneself and to others.

Stella offers a warm and supportive space that moves at the client’s pace, prioritising listening and collaborative exploration. Her approach is grounded in empathy and practicality, helping people to better understand what lies beneath their difficulties and to build a steadier, kinder relationship with themselves. Reaching out for therapy is a significant step, and Stella is committed to meeting each person with respect and genuine care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Stella Hendricks uses psychodynamic therapy to explore the deeper emotional patterns, early relationships, and unconscious dynamics that influence current feelings and behaviours. This approach can help individuals gain insight into recurring difficulties and develop more adaptive ways of relating to themselves and others. Attachment-Based Therapy is also an important part of her work - it focuses on how early attachment experiences shape expectations and responses in close relationships and can be useful for relationship challenges, intimacy issues, and feelings of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stella works collaboratively with clients to identify what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and supportive.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexible ways to access registered professionals from different locations. These formats can make it easier to maintain regular contact, fit sessions into a busy life, and continue therapy during transitions or travel while preserving continuity of care.
