Stella Scrivens

Approaches you can try online with Stella

Stella draws on person-centred work that puts the client’s perspective first, offering listening, validation and practical steps to help people manage difficult feelings and decisions. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and life transitions.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations. Mindfulness can be practised briefly between sessions and can reduce reactivity to strong emotions. For clients affected by traumatic memories, Stella offers trauma-focused methods that aim to reduce the emotional intensity of distressing events without requiring detailed retelling.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Stella works collaboratively to identify what fits each person’s needs and goals. She will discuss options, try methods in session, and adjust course if something does not feel helpful. The aim is to find practical tools and ways of understanding that the client can use in daily life.

Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports reflection over time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel commitments.
