Stella Sacarello

Stella Sacarello is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people feeling isolated, anxious or weighed down by life changes. She helps clients who are struggling with stress, low self‑esteem, motivation, grief and issues related to LGBT identity. Her approach aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward for someone worried about taking that first step.

Stella uses person‑centred counselling, which treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and building on existing strengths. The aim is to create space to talk through difficult feelings and to make small, practical steps forward.

She brings three years of professional experience to her work and uses that time to offer steady, compassionate support. People often come for help with coping after loss, navigating changes like separation, or dealing with chronic illness and pain. Stella also supports those facing prejudice, gender dysphoria, fertility questions, or challenges around sexuality.

In sessions she keeps language plain and practical. Conversations might include exploring what’s most important, trying out different ways to manage stress, and working on self‑confidence. The focus is on what the person wants to change and what feels doable for them.

Stella offers therapy in English and works with people in the UK. If someone is unsure how to begin, she encourages them to take a small first step towards getting support rather than waiting until everything feels perfect.

How person‑centred work and online therapy can fit your life

Person‑centred counselling puts the client’s voice first. It involves active listening, gentle reflection and helping the person to name what matters. This approach can be useful for issues like loneliness, low self‑esteem, anxiety and coping with life changes because it focuses on the client’s goals and strengths.

Another relevant way of working is practical problem‑focused support. This means identifying small, manageable steps to reduce stress or to improve day‑to‑day functioning. For example, sessions can look at ways to manage anxious thoughts, plan for difficult conversations, or try new routines that ease low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see what feels most helpful and adjust the way they work as needs change. Clients and therapist agree goals and then review progress together over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Online work can also make it easier to have shorter check‑ins when needed or to meet from different locations.
