Stella Scrivens, BACP

Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor registered in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing a broad range of difficulties, including stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, grief and loss, offering steady support as they work through what feels hard.

Stella creates a warm, empathic and non-judgemental space where clients are invited to explore challenges at their own pace. She meets each person with genuine respect and acceptance and operates from the view that individuals are the experts in their own lives. Rather than directing or diagnosing, Stella walks alongside clients, offering support as they navigate their own path and empowering them to make sense of the issues they are experiencing.

She is trained in Rewind therapy, a trauma-based method often described as providing closure without disclosure, and uses transactional analysis to explore child, parent and adult ego states. Stella is also trained in clinical hypnotherapy, a gentle approach that can be used for issues such as specific phobias, fear of flying and weight loss.

Stella holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is committed to helping people take the courageous first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Online work with person-centred and trauma-focused methods

Stella offers online therapy using approaches grounded in person-centred work, trauma-focused techniques and clinical hypnotherapy. Client-centred therapy focuses on providing a respectful, empathic environment in which the person is treated as the expert of their own experience - this approach supports issues like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and life transitions by prioritising the client’s pace and goals. Trauma-focused work, including Rewind therapy, addresses distress related to traumatic events and is often described as a way to achieve a sense of closure without the need for detailed disclosure. Clinical hypnotherapy offers a gentle, experiential option that can help with targeted issues such as specific phobias, fear of flying and weight-related goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Stella collaborates with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the work over time so the plan remains aligned with what is most helpful.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into varied schedules and circumstances. This range of formats makes it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals and to continue work even when life feels busy or unpredictable.
