About me
Warm welcome to my page.
My name is Stella and I am an experienced Jungian/Somatic psychotherapist and mentor.
I specialise in working with people who are navigating the transformative time of Midlife (mid/late-30s to mid/late-50s), as well as other significant life transitions, related to career, relationships, relocation, fertility, loss in all its various forms, and more. I am also passionate about supporting fellow therapists, healers, artists and other practitioners.
MIDLIFE DEPTH WORK
Midlife is a catalyst for profound change that often causes us to feel confused, lost and disoriented: old ways of being, patterns and identities may stop working like they used to; we may question our choices and the life paths we have taken so far; and our values, priorities and desires may start to shift significantly.
Common questions that emerge at this juncture include:
"Is this all there is?"
"What happened to the life I dreamt of?"
"What am I actually here for?"
From a psychospiritual perspective, Midlife is meant to be a rite of passage into a truer, deeper, more whole and brave version of ourselves. However, change, especially the sweeping kind that Midlife often initiates, is never easy, and being well-supported as we navigate a new chapter can make all the difference. This is the essence of the work we would do together.
THERAPY & MENTORING FOR PRACTITIONERS
A big part of my work is dedicated to supporting fellow soul-work practitioners, who are moving through times of change and reorientation/reinvention in both their personal and professional lives.
I believe that, as people offering work that is close to our heart and soul, we have a unique psychological landscape in which our personal and professional growth naturally converge. Therefore, we need spaces that can hold all of ourselves; life and work alike, as well as the alchemy in between.
I am passionate about helping my clients discover who they truly are, under the layers of conditioning and outgrown identities we all carry, and step into a more authentic and unique Life, filled with Meaning and Purpose.
THE WORK
My work is an eclectic, creative synthesis of Jungian/Depth Psychology, Somatic Expressive Therapy and Embodiment, and Alchemical Spirituality. Working together includes: dream, myth and archetypal work, embodied active imagination, somatic movement, psychological astrology, writing and the expressive arts, ritual and more.
Embodied Depth Work is oriented toward personal growth, psychospiritual development and self-realisation, rather than the treatment of active mental health conditions. It would be most suitable for you if you are not completely new to inner work, and are now ready to go deeper.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

TESTIMONIALS
“Stella will take you deep —deeper than anyone I know. Into your body, your heart, your emotions, yourself. Through her presence and guidance, I get to access the parts of myself that are otherwise most difficult to access, yet hold the wisdom and the ‘keys’ I most need.”
—T. B.
"You know that feeling you get when you know you’ve made the right choice? I have that feeling every time I have a session with Stella. Stella is so welcoming and holds such a beautiful, loving and safe space for me to resolve my issues in and to discuss at length what I need. Her insight is incredible and so heartfelt and the fact that it comes from experience makes her so much more relatable and genuine than any other practitioner I’ve ever worked with.
Working with Stella has been everything I needed and more. I am so thankful to have been led to her and the amazing work she does, and I will forever be grateful for all the time and effort she has put into each and every session with me."
—M. G.
