About Stella
Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and related concerns. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way so clients can talk through difficult feelings and make sense of what is happening in their lives.
She believes each person knows their own life best and offers supportive guidance rather than direction or diagnosis. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on building understanding, self-awareness and personal agency.
Background and approach
Stella uses hypnotherapy as one of her approaches. She describes hypnotherapy as a gentle method that can help with phobias, fear of flying and issues connected to weight and habit change. She also works from a client-centred base and draws on psychodynamic ideas such as transactional analysis to look at child and parent ego states.
Trauma-focused methods are part of her practice too, including a Rewind-style trauma approach that aims to reduce distress without requiring detailed disclosure. Stella has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including relationships, parenting challenges, sleep and eating difficulties, chronic health issues, addiction and ADHD-related struggles. Sessions are offered in English and Stella accepts international clients. She aims to help people find practical ways to cope and to support them as they work towards change.

Online support
How Stella's approaches work online
Stella uses hypnotherapy, client-centred therapy and trauma-focused methods in her practice. Hypnotherapy is presented as a gentle technique that helps people change habits, address phobias and reduce distress connected to certain unwanted behaviours. Client-centred therapy is about listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions rather than giving directions. Trauma-focused work, including a Rewind-style method, aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories without requiring detailed retelling.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Stella will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so sessions feel helpful and relevant to each individual.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessing these approaches. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler option for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging give a written, flexible route for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or caregiving responsibilities while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
