About Stella
Counsellor Stella Sacarello is BACP registered and works in the United Kingdom. She has three years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, grief, self esteem and coping with life changes.
Stella uses person-centred counselling. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and listens for each individual's strengths. Sessions focus on what the client wants to address and on practical ways to move forward.
She also has experience supporting people with chronic pain, illness and disability, and with issues around divorce and separation. Other areas she has worked with include family of origin problems, fertility issues, gender dysphoria, and immigration matters.
Stella has supported people facing isolation, sexual assault and abuse, prejudice and discrimination, and difficulties around sexuality and non-monogamous relationships. She has also worked with clients dealing with guilt, shame and questions of life purpose.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational. Stella will listen, reflect what she hears and help clients clarify next steps. People who want clear, person-focused counselling and practical conversation may find this approach helpful.
Person-centred approaches and how online counselling can work
Person-centred counselling places the client at the centre. The counsellor listens and reflects back what she hears. This helps people understand their own priorities and use their strengths to make decisions. It commonly helps with low mood, anxiety, relationship questions and making life changes.Another helpful approach is straightforward conversational support that focuses on coping skills and problem-solving. This is not a named training claim but describes practical ways the counsellor may work when clients want concrete steps for managing stress, grief or adjustment to illness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stella will talk with the client about what they need and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. This is a collaborative process based on the client's goals and preferences.
The original profile does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find online counselling fits into their day more easily, for example by reducing travel time, making it simpler to schedule a short check-in during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life without changing the clinical focus.
