If you’ve arrived at my website its’s likely that you or someone you care about is needing support from a professional. As a therapist with a specialism in working with children and young adults ( 7 - 25 years) I regularly work with children, young people, parents and professionals who are seeing change, a return to health, and a rediscovery of themselves from a kinder place.
For variety of reasons, some children and young people may develop fears, limiting beliefs or big emotions at odds with their developmental stages, peers or day to day life. To respond to this, my role as a therapist offers clients a safe and non judgmental place to start to process emotional experiences that could be impacting an ability to thrive and feel safe inside. My belief in the power of therapeutic relationships stems from the fact that we are relational beings who are hard wired to respond to feeling seen, heard and understood. As we rarely recover well in isolation, therapeutic support can provide a safe, predictable and co collborated space to help us to rediscover ourselves.
“The most daunting thing about starting therapy is finding the right therapist. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Stella’s practice, not only because she is a great listener, but also knows how to help my thoughts flow in the right direction”. Una 25
