Stella Sacarello

Stella Sacarello is a BACP registered therapist who focuses on helping people with stress and anxiety, LGBT concerns, grief and self-esteem. She works with individuals facing life changes and those trying to rebuild motivation and confidence. Her style is calm and respectful, aimed at making it easier to talk about difficult things.

She uses person-centred counselling, which means she treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions aim to uncover strengths already present and to use those strengths to face current problems. Stella sits alongside people while they make decisions, rather than telling them what to do.

Stella has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and carries the BACP credential noted above. That background includes supporting people through loss and grieving, and helping those living with chronic pain, illness or disability find ways to cope. She also supports people dealing with fertility issues, separation, and family-origin difficulties.

Her practice also addresses concerns around gender dysphoria, sexuality, and non-monogamous relationships. Stella helps people affected by prejudice or discrimination, immigration challenges, and isolation or loneliness. She often works with those managing Seasonal Affective Disorder and sexual assault or abuse recovery.

People who choose to work with Stella can expect a collaborative, paced process. She aims to help clients find clearer direction and more steady coping skills. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a session time that suits them.

How Stella uses person-centred care online

Person-centred counselling puts the client's experience at the heart of the work. It focuses on listening closely, reflecting what the person says, and helping them notice their own strengths. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and adjusting to life changes by allowing the client to lead the pace and focus.

Another useful way to work is by targeting practical coping strategies. These are simple, everyday techniques to manage stress and mood shifts, such as breathing, activity planning and breaking tasks into smaller steps. They aim to make daily life feel more manageable while conversations explore deeper themes.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and try to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist review progress together and adapt the plan when needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives people flexibility to choose times that suit work or family life, helping counselling to become part of everyday routines.
