About Stella
Stella Scrivens is registered in the United Kingdom as a person centred counsellor with three years of professional experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and bereavement. Stella also supports people dealing with depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem.
Stella uses a person centred approach that treats the client as the expert in their own life. She focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can make sense of their situation. Stella aims to offer steady support while people consider changes to work, study and relationships.
Her practice draws on several therapeutic methods. She uses trauma-focused ideas to help people handle past distress, and psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce overwhelm and calm anxious thinking.
Stella also works with hypnotherapy techniques for specific concerns such as phobias, fear of flying and weight-related goals. She applies these methods as appropriate alongside person centred listening rather than as a single solution.
Sessions are offered in English and Stella accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Stella uses client centred work to prioritise the person's perspective. This approach means most sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping the client find their own solutions. It is useful for stress, low mood and relationship concerns.She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to address past distress in a paced way. This approach concentrates on reducing the impact of traumatic memories rather than forcing detailed retelling. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to teach breathing and attention skills that reduce anxiety and reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stella will discuss options with the client and agree which methods to try, adapting them as goals and preferences become clearer. The work aims to be practical and responsive rather than fixed from the start.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online formats before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit around study, shifts and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and help people keep therapy in their weekly routine.
