About Stella
Stella Scrivens offers practical, calm support for people who are struggling with sleep, stress and everyday worries. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what feels hard. Stella meets each person with respect and aims to help them make sense of their experiences. She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Her approach is person-centred, which means she follows what each client brings and responds with empathy and understanding. She also combines hypnotherapy and trauma-focused techniques when these fit the person’s needs. Sessions are aimed at helping clients find tools to manage anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and difficulties that arise after loss or difficult life changes.
Stella describes her role as walking alongside clients rather than directing them. She helps people explore feelings about relationships, identity, body image and parenting strain. Practical ideas and simple breathing or grounding techniques may be offered to support rest and better sleep patterns.
Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, addictions and long-term health challenges. Stella also uses ideas from transactional analysis to look at how past patterns influence present behaviour. She aims to empower clients to take small steps that feel doable in daily life.
If someone is nervous about starting therapy, Stella focuses on building trust at a gentle pace. She supports clients through grief, anger, career worries and the challenge of managing attention differences such as ADHD.
How Stella’s approaches can work online
Stella uses person-centred techniques and hypnotherapy as part of her practice. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and offering honest, empathetic responses that help people reflect on their own choices and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, sleep difficulties and low mood. Clinical hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and imagery to help address specific issues such as phobias, sleep patterns or unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Stella will work collaboratively to decide which methods feel most helpful based on a client’s goals and preferences. She encourages open discussion about what is working and adapts the plan as you make progress together.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that feels better. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep therapy consistent while working on sleep, stress and trauma-related issues.
