My approach is integrative, drawing on different therapeutic models to suit each individual’s needs. I also work relationally, and I believe that a meaningful therapeutic relationship forms the foundation for personal growth and emotional healing. I hold an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling from the University of Warwick.
Having engaged in over a decade of personal psychoanalytic therapy, I understand the courage it takes to embark on this journey and the profound transformation it can bring. This experience informs my compassionate and empathetic approach, allowing me to provide a safe, reflective, and non-judgmental space for you.
I’ve worked with clients navigating emotional distress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, LGBTQ+ and identity issues, trauma, neurodivergence, and life transitions. I work in private practice and higher education.
I usually work with clients for six months to a year, as therapy is most effective when there’s sufficient time to build trust and explore issues at a steady pace. Shorter-term therapy is also possible, with a minimum of 8 sessions to create a safe space, understand your concerns, and make meaningful progress without feeling rushed.
I engage in regular supervision in accordance with the UKCP Ethical Framework to maintain high standards of clinical practice. Any client information discussed in supervision is handled with confidentiality and respect.
I offer therapy in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Taiwanese.
Hello, I’m Stella, an experienced UKCP-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can speak freely and feel heard and seen.
My approach is grounded in empathy, acceptance, and curiosity, with a deep respect for the complexity of the human experience. I believe therapy is most powerful when it honours the whole of who we are - not just what feels difficult, but also our strengths, values, and potential.
Whether you’re going through a challenging time, feeling stuck, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I aim to provide a safe, thoughtful space where your individuality is welcomed. Together we can explore what matters to you and make sense of your experiences in a way that feels grounded and meaningful.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
