I’m a UK-credentialed therapist with five years of professional experience supporting clients with self-esteem and confidence, relationship challenges, stress and anxiety, sleep difficulties, and motivation issues. I work from a psychodynamic perspective, which means we explore the deeper patterns, experiences, and emotional dynamics that shape how you think, feel, and relate today. This approach may enable a deeper understanding of your patterns and help you develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
My aim is to offer a warm, open, and supportive space where you can speak freely and feel truly heard, without fear of judgment. Together, we move at your pace, exploring what’s happening beneath the surface and helping you build a more grounded and compassionate relationship with yourself.
Reaching out for therapy is a courageous first step, and I’m truly glad you’re here

She's very patient with me, as I have trouble communicating and I've found her advice to be well educated. I'm still new to therapy as a whole but I find she is kind and understanding.

I'm amazed again and again about the incredible feeling Stella has for who I am as a person. Her therapy does not feel like one size fits all. I feel seen and heard, understood, and well assisted. All the while she's respectful and professional at any given moment.

I feel incredibly grateful for my sessions with Stella! She's professional, observant, and very good at what she does. I always come away from our sessions feeling a little lighter and with new questions to ask myself. Highly recommend!

I am enjoying a lot the sessions with Stella, she is a great listener, paying attention to what I say, how I feel and what I want to express. It makes me feel comfortable to share and to express myself. Looking forward to the next sessions :) Thank you!

Stella is a great professional.
She made me feel immediately at my ease and I did like the way she led me through the understanding of some pattern of mine.
Not only she is able to make you feel comfortable enough to open yourself but is giving you extremely valuable "food for thought".

i thought it's gonna take a long time to find a right therapist but this first try was surprising, after each therapist session i am just so happy that i am getting closer to find out who i am. my feelings are quite complicated but she's a great therapist, instead of giving direct answers she leads me think
