Chiara Stoten offers a calm, practical approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or difficult life changes. She introduces straightforward steps and listens closely so each session fits what the person needs. Chiara uses everyday language and aims to make therapy feel manageable for someone juggling busy lives and heavy emotions.

She blends a few therapy styles to match each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Background and approach

That means conversations might focus on understanding how past experiences affect today, or on setting small, realistic steps to reach short-term goals. Chiara emphasises moving at a pace that feels comfortable and practical for the individual. Her background includes six years of practice and work with trauma, dissociation, abuse, depression, stress, anxiety and relationship concerns.

She has also been building experience supporting people with autism and ADHD. Chiara draws on this experience to tailor sessions and offer clear, steady guidance. Chiara is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She works with adults in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging for those who prefer them. People who want a listening ear and practical direction often find her style helpful.

She encourages clients to set realistic goals and reviews progress together. The emphasis is on clarity, calm and small steps toward feeling better.

How Chiara’s approaches work online

Chiara commonly uses client-centred work and solution-focused techniques online. Client-centred therapy means the conversation follows what matters most to the person and emphasises listening, empathy and understanding; it helps when someone needs space to be heard and make sense of their feelings. Solution-focused work looks at small, achievable steps and practical changes to reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning; it suits people who want clear goals and quick strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options in early sessions and agree together what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and personal preference. That way the plan can change as things move forward and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while avoiding travel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, for people who find writing easier, or when a quieter format is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver meaningful therapy in these formats while adapting pace and tools to suit each person’s situation.
