Stelina Doko, BACP

Stelina Doko is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom who blends professional training with a compassionate, client-focused approach. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Counseling and Coaching and is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Advanced Psychotherapy, bringing academic grounding and ongoing clinical development to her practice. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and denotes membership of a recognised professional body.

Stelina works in an integrative way, drawing on client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic ideas, with a solution-focused emphasis when clients need practical strategies. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, family difficulties, grief, eating and body-image concerns, parenting and career transitions, and other life changes. Additional focuses include abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, midlife adjustments, mood concerns, and cultivating self-love.

She has supported a diverse range of clients through periods of change and healing, tailoring each plan to individual needs and strengths. Sessions are offered remotely, and Stelina provides therapy in English, Albanian, and Italian, accepting both local and international clients. Her practice aims to empower people to build resilience, improve relationships, and move toward clearer goals with practical tools and empathic guidance.

Approaches for online therapy and practical support

Stelina uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients are invited to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach prioritises empathy and collaboration and often helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that identifies unhelpful thought patterns and develops practical strategies to change behaviours and ease symptoms. CBT is commonly applied to stress, anxiety, mood difficulties, and coping with day-to-day challenges.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stelina works collaboratively with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, adapting methods over time so the plan remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Stelina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations and to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care.
