About me
I’m Stella, a qualified and experienced counsellor, accredited with the National Counselling Society. I offer an LGBTQIA+ safe space and an understanding of living with neurodivergence. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
If you would like to become more self-accepting and improve your relationships, counselling is a great place to start.
If you find you are feeling sad, anxious or facing loss or change, then let’s talk about how counselling can help you find a way forward to feeling better again.
I specialise in working with all aspects of baby loss. I am privileged to have been able to work with many people whose lives have been affected by baby loss and miscarriage who have shared their experiences with me.
Whatever it is that brings you to counselling, I will help you explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe way, without judgement. I will always treat you with dignity and respect.
Taking the first steps can feel really hard but I will do my utmost to make you feel as comfortable as possible, this is a time for you to hit the pause button and focus just on yourself.
Counselling is unique to each individual and their needs. It can offer clarity, comfort, a boost to move in a different direction. Counselling can give you a deeper insight into yourself so that you can start to envisage positive and realistic change. Sessions give you an opportunity to take the time to think about what is going on in your life without being judged or advised.
I offer an initial free consultation lasting around half an hour so you can ask questions and we can start to get to know each other. There is no obligation for you to go further.
I offer short and long term counselling in a relaxed and comfortable space or online sessions to suit you.
