About Stelina

Stelina Doko is a counsellor who began her professional path after completing a Bachelor’s degree in Counselling and Coaching. She has three years of clinical experience and is currently advancing her studies in a Master’s programme in Advanced Psychotherapy. Stelina works from a person-centred stance and places emphasis on listening and building practical goals with each person she meets.

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and issues with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Stelina also helps those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and life transitions. Parenting concerns, family tensions and relationship struggles are areas she commonly addresses in sessions. Her way of working is collaborative and straightforward.

Sessions focus on making sense of what is happening now, identifying small changes that help, and practising new ways of coping between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. When past experiences seem to shape present reactions, Stelina uses psychodynamic ideas to gently look at patterns and meanings.

The aim is to combine insight with practical steps so people feel more able to manage day-to-day demands. She offers a calm, respectful space and adapts her pace to each person’s needs. Stelina sees clients in the United Kingdom and works in English, Albanian and Italian.

Her approach suits people who want clear, applied strategies alongside space to reflect. To begin, new clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support

How Stelina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful listening and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stelina discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try first. She adapts approaches over time, combining insight-led reflection with short, practical steps when that suits the person’s needs.

Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different circumstances. Video is helpful for visual connection and deeper conversation, phone calls work well when less bandwidth is available, and messaging can fit short check-ins or people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and busy schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
