About Chiara
Chiara Stoten works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression and relationship concerns. She welcomes those coping with trauma, grief, addiction issues and difficulties with self-esteem. Chiara also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, sleep and eating problems, ADHD and career changes.
Her approach aims to help people feel clearer and more in control of daily life. Chiara practises in a flexible, individualised way. She uses client-centred methods that place the person's needs at the heart of sessions.
Background and approach
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences influence present patterns, and solution-focused techniques to identify practical steps forward. Her style is plain and paced to suit each person. Conversations are guided by what the client wants to work on and at a speed that feels manageable.
Chiara pays attention to how relationships, abandonment or attachment concerns, and earlier experiences may shape current difficulties. Chiara has six years' professional experience and has worked in independent practice in the United Kingdom. She has particular experience supporting people affected by trauma, dissociation and abuse, and increasing experience with autism and ADHD.
She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary with location and with the subscription model used, which can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

Approaches Chiara lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chiara collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. She adapts the balance between exploring history and finding practical steps so the plan makes sense for the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation when face-to-face interaction matters. Phone sessions suit people who have lower bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Chat or messaging can work for short check-ins, written reflection or when someone needs flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
