About Stella
Stella Hendricks is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She works with issues such as sleep problems, motivation, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges around intimacy and parenting. Stella practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Stella uses a psychodynamic approach to look at patterns that repeat in a person’s life. That means she and the client gently explore past experiences and emotional habits to understand how these shape current feelings and reactions.
Background and approach
This can help people see where old patterns are getting in the way of their goals. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to focus on how relationships influence wellbeing. That perspective is useful for people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears, codependency or connection issues.
Working through those themes can change how someone relates to others and to themselves. Stella aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly. Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with thoughtful questions and reflective feedback rather than rushed advice.
The goal is to build steadier, kinder ways of relating to feelings and relationships. With five years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Stella combines talk-based therapy with attention to life context. She accepts international clients and adapts to different formats such as video, phone, live chat and text messaging.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape the way people seek help, form bonds and respond to stress. Online conversations can make it easier to notice these patterns and practise new ways of connecting with others and oneself. Psychodynamic Therapy explores recurring themes and feelings that come from past experience. In remote sessions the counsellor and client talk through these patterns, reflect on feelings and slowly build new understandings that change reactions over time. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stella will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which ideas to use. That collaborative planning helps tailor the sessions to each person’s needs and life circumstances. Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow visual contact and more nuanced conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, immediate reflection and people who prefer writing as a way to process. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around everyday life.Frequently asked
