About Stella
Stella Sacarello is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or unsure about life changes. Stella also supports clients facing grief, self‑esteem and confidence issues, and challenges related to LGBT matters.
Her work uses person‑centred counselling, which starts from the belief that each person understands their own life best. Sessions aim to make space for the client to talk, reflect, and identify their own strengths.
Background and approach
Stella offers a calm, non‑judgemental presence while people sort out what matters most to them. She has three years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns. Beyond core areas like anxiety and grief, she has supported people dealing with chronic pain, fertility and family of origin issues, gender dysphoria, and the effects of prejudice or discrimination.
Stella listens for practical patterns and small steps that can make daily life easier. Conversations might include making decisions, managing symptoms day to day, or finding ways to reconnect with purpose and motivation. The pace is set by the client and aims to build confidence over time.
Sessions are offered in English and are conducted online by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Joining begins by using the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and arranging sessions to suit the individual's schedule.

Online support
In online practice many therapists also use evidence‑based techniques that support the person‑centred frame, such as practical problem‑solving and behavioural planning. These techniques help break down worries into manageable steps and build routines that reduce stress and improve day‑to‑day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best with the person's goals and preferences. That exploration usually happens in the first few sessions and can be adjusted as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text‑based messaging. Video calls allow face to face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, live chat can be useful for shorter check‑ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and can reduce travel time while keeping regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
