About Stella
Stella Hendricks is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She supports people dealing with relationship worries, sleep problems, grief, mood changes and parenting concerns. Stella works with those facing career pressure, trauma and coping with life changes.
She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and be heard. Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and early experiences that shape current feelings and relationships.
Background and approach
That approach helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and what gets in the way of change. Stella also uses attachment-based thinking to look at how close relationships influence trust, intimacy and emotional safety. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person's needs.
Stella helps people make sense of difficult emotions, notice unhelpful cycles, and try different ways of relating. Practical steps are discussed alongside reflection so daily life can feel more manageable. She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed in her credentials.
Stella works with individuals in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients when arrangements allow. People can expect straightforward language, gentle curiosity and steady support. Reaching out is often the hardest part, and she aims to make the next steps clear and doable.

Attachment and psychodynamic work online
Stella uses psychodynamic thinking to help people notice repeated feelings and relationship patterns. This approach looks at how past experiences shape today’s reactions and can be useful for anxiety, mood changes and long-standing relationship difficulties.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how close relationships influence trust, intimacy and support. Attachment-based work can help people understand why they find certain situations triggering and learn new ways to connect and rely on others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stella discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on patterns from the past, current relationship dynamics, practical coping, or a mix of these.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face when schedules are tight, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, while keeping consistent progress.
