About Stella
Stella Sacarello is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT-related issues, grief and low self-esteem. She works with people who are struggling with life changes and motivation. Stella aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward for someone who is worried or unsure.
She uses a person-centred counselling approach that treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting what matters to the client and building on the client’s strengths. Stella offers a calm space to talk through difficult feelings and to explore small steps forward.
Stella has three years of professional experience working with people coping with loss and change. She also supports clients dealing with chronic pain, fertility and relationship structures such as polyamory, as well as issues connected to gender, sexuality and prejudice.
In sessions she attends to practical concerns like motivation and confidence, and the impact of family of origin or immigration issues. She aims to help clients find clearer priorities and ways to manage daily strain.
Stella works in English. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Before booking, check the current session options and scheduling details to make sure they fit your needs.
How person-centred work can translate online
Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, acceptance and helping a person use their own strengths. In practice this means sessions give time to talk about what matters, reflect back what the client says, and explore small, realistic steps forward. This approach is helpful for stress, anxiety, grief and questions around identity or life purpose.Alongside person-centred work, evidence-based techniques often used in general practice include brief problem-solving approaches to manage daily stress and structured ways of noticing and responding to anxious thoughts. These techniques give concrete tools to use between sessions, such as simple steps to reduce overwhelm or small behavioural experiments to build confidence.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adapt the way sessions are run to suit the person’s needs and preferences. Expect a process of checking what helps and changing course if something isn’t working.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time and offer a quieter check-in at a convenient moment. It can also allow sessions without being on camera when that feels better, or a shorter phone-style conversation when that suits a busy day.
