Stella Sacarello, BACP

Stella Sacarello is a BACP registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She works with clients facing LGBTQ related concerns, challenges with self esteem and confidence, motivation difficulties, and the emotional impact of loss. Stella also offers experience with a wide range of related issues including coping with chronic illness and disability, family and relationship matters, fertility and separation, gender dysphoria, and feelings of isolation.

Her practice is grounded in person-centred counselling, an approach that places the client at the centre of their own story and builds on their existing strengths. Stella believes that each person knows their experience best and that therapy is a collaborative space to explore values, goals, and practical ways forward. Taking the first step toward greater wellbeing can feel daunting, and Stella aims to provide steady, respectful support as people work toward a more fulfilling life.

Stella holds BACP registration - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects recognised professional standards for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She provides therapy in English and accepts clients across the United Kingdom, offering a mixture of flexible, client-focused options for engagement.

Person-centred care and flexible online support

Stella draws on person-centred counselling, a way of working that treats the client as the expert in their own life and focuses on empathy, acceptance, and supporting personal insight. This approach is useful for people navigating identity concerns, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

She also integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques, selecting practical methods supported by research to help manage symptoms of stress and anxiety or to work through grief and loss. These techniques are applied in a collaborative way to suit the individual needs of each client.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Stella works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adapting her style so therapy feels collaborative and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people seeking flexibility and accessibility. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best fits their routine and comfort level. This range of options helps maintain continuity of care while accommodating different lifestyles and commitments.
