Stella Sacarello, BACP

Stella Sacarello is a BACP registered therapist practicing in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and the challenges that come with major life changes. Stella also supports clients navigating LGBTQ issues, concerns about self-esteem and confidence, and motivation to move forward when life feels stalled.

Her practice is grounded in person-centred counselling, an approach that recognises each person as the expert in their own life and builds on their existing strengths. Stella combines this collaborative stance with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to offer practical ways of coping with emotional pain, relationship concerns, identity questions, and the effects of chronic illness or disability. BACP indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting professional standards in the UK.

Stella aims to create a supportive space where taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life is met with empathy and clear, focused support. She assists clients through transitions such as divorce, fertility challenges, family difficulties, and experiences of prejudice or isolation, helping them identify goals and practical steps toward wellbeing.

Person-centred support and evidence-based care online

Stella primarily works from a person-centred counselling perspective, which focuses on listening closely to each person's experience and helping them discover their own strengths and direction. This approach is especially helpful for people facing identity questions, relationship changes, or when self-esteem and motivation are affected.

She also draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In practice this means using structured, research-informed strategies alongside empathic support to address symptoms of anxiety, stress, grief, and the practical impacts of chronic illness or life transitions. These techniques aim to provide clear coping skills and ways of making meaningful change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Stella will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the way she works as understanding deepens.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make ongoing support more accessible, allowing clients to engage in therapy from their own environment while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a registered professional.
