About Stella
Stella Hendricks welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-worth or difficult life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully so people can talk about what is worrying them. Stella aims to create a calm space where conversations are steady and grounded, and where people can move forward one step at a time.
Stella draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at the patterns that shape thoughts, feelings and relationships.
Background and approach
That means she helps people notice repeated ways of reacting that often started earlier in life, and gently examines how those patterns show up now. This can make it easier to change unhelpful habits and try new ways of coping. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect mood and behaviour.
Working with attachment can help people understand their needs in relationships and learn safer ways of asking for support. Stella keeps sessions practical while attending to the emotions beneath the surface. With five years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - Stella supports people with a wide range of concerns.
These include sleep problems, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, eating difficulties and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar-related distress. Stella offers sessions in English and accepts clients internationally. She encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready, and to explore therapy at a pace that feels manageable.

Approaches Stella 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
Attachment-based work focuses on how you relate to others and to yourself. In online sessions Stella helps people identify their attachment needs and practice clearer ways of asking for support, which can ease anxiety and improve closeness in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Stella will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will discuss goals and preferences and adapt the way she works as the relationship develops, so therapy stays relevant to your needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper connection is helpful. Phone sessions or short live chats suit quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging can fit into busy days and helps people process thoughts between sessions.
