Stella Scrivens

Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm and respectful space for people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction or relationship strain. Stella aims to help clients make sense of difficult feelings and find practical ways forward.

She has three years of professional experience and works from the view that each person knows their life best. Her role is to listen, reflect and support rather than to direct or label. That approach is intended to help clients feel understood and more able to choose the next steps.

Stella uses a mix of approaches, including client-centred work, trauma-focused methods and clinical hypnotherapy, adapting sessions to what feels most helpful to the individual. She describes hypnotherapy as a gentle option that can suit phobias, fears and behavioural goals among other issues. Trauma-focused techniques are used to help people process painful memories without needing to relive them in detail.

In session she aims to be warm and non-judgemental, encouraging small, manageable changes. Conversations can cover emotional patterns, past influences and everyday coping skills. The emphasis is on collaboration, so clients set the pace and priorities.

People who want to begin are asked to follow the site booking flow and complete a brief matching questionnaire. Stella accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions can use these same conversations to help people clarify what matters and to try new ways of coping.

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help people process distressing experiences safely and at their own pace. In a remote setting the therapist can guide grounding, pacing and gentle techniques so difficult memories feel less overwhelming.

Clinical Hypnotherapy uses relaxed, focused attention to support behaviour change or reduce specific fears. When offered remotely, it typically involves guided exercises and imagery led by the therapist to work on issues such as phobias or unhelpful habits.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adapt methods to goals, comfort and progress. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list formats. Ask which formats are currently offered and how sessions are scheduled. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins on difficult days, while still focusing on steady progress and practical coping skills.
