Stella Scrivens, BACP

Stella Scrivens is a person-centred counsellor registered in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with a broad spectrum of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, eating and sleeping issues, parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem problems, career transitions, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Stella creates a warm, empathic and non-judgemental space where people can explore their difficulties at a comfortable pace. She approaches each person with respect and acceptance, working on the premise that individuals are the experts on their own lives. Her role is to walk alongside clients rather than direct or diagnose, offering support that aims to help them make sense of their experiences and find clearer ways forward.

Her clinical toolkit includes client-centred therapy, trauma-focused approaches, psychodynamic techniques, mindfulness therapy and hypnotherapy. She is trained in Rewind therapy - a trauma-based method often described as closure without disclosure - and uses transactional analysis to explore child-parent ego states. Stella also practices clinical hypnotherapy, a gentle modality that can be applied to issues such as phobias, fear of flying and weight management alongside other presenting concerns.

Stella accepts new clients and works with people internationally. She offers an approachable and supportive presence for those taking the first steps toward change, recognising that seeking help takes courage and that progress is often achieved through collaborative, tailored work.
