About Stella

Stella Anderson offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or major life changes. She frames sessions so clients can speak freely about low mood, self-esteem, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, sleeping problems, anger or career uncertainty. Stella uses everyday language and practical steps to help people manage symptoms and make small changes that matter.

Stella holds BACP accreditation, and she brings five years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse and attention to multicultural concerns. She aims to treat each person with respect and to understand how culture and identity shape experience. Her practice draws on client-centred ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques alongside psychodynamic and solution-focused perspectives.

That mix allows sessions to feel both grounded and forward-looking. Conversations can move from exploring past patterns to trying new coping strategies in the present. Stella writes straightforward, personalised plans with clear goals and steps.

Sessions often include practical exercises, thought‑style checks and short-term problem-solving tasks. The tone is warm and encouraging, with attention to what a person can do between meetings. People meet Stella by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

She accepts clients from the UK and internationally. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and are matched before scheduling sessions.

Sessions & fees

How Stella’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. In online sessions this means the counsellor offers empathic attention and helps clients name feelings and priorities so they feel heard and valued. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises, thought records and activity planning that can be practised between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stella will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video allows face‑to‑face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check‑ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while still doing focused therapeutic work.
