Stella Hendricks welcomes people feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, anxiety, or relationship strain. She explains things plainly and focuses on what someone can do day to day. Her style aims to help people feel heard and to build steadier ways of coping.

She uses a psychodynamic approach to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. That can help uncover repeated patterns that keep causing pain. Stella also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early bonds affect how people relate now.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and calm. Stella listens for themes that matter and helps people make sense of them. Together the work looks at feelings, relationships, and the routines that maintain distress.

She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. Stella practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She accepts international clients and uses formats that suit different needs.

Practical issues such as sleep troubles, burnout, grief, trauma, eating concerns, parenting strain, and changes in work or relationship roles are within her focus. She supports people dealing with complicated feelings like abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and anger. Reaching out can feel hard.

Stella aims to make that first contact straightforward: she listens, works at a pace that suits the individual, and helps people find clearer ways forward.

How Stella's approaches work online

Stella works with psychodynamic ideas to notice how past experiences shape present feelings and reactions. This approach helps when recurring patterns cause distress, such as repeated relationship difficulties or long-standing low mood. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early bonds influence ways of relating. It can be useful for intimacy struggles, trust issues, feelings of abandonment, and problems with closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stella will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they choose what feels most useful. The process is collaborative and paced to the individual so the therapy fits their needs and rhythm.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when interaction and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messages work well for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats make therapy more flexible, helping people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel commitments rather than attending in person.
