Stelina Doko, BACP

Stelina Doko is a counsellor with a Bachelor’s degree in Counseling and Coaching and a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) credential. She has practised for three years and is also working towards a Master’s in Advanced Psychotherapy. Stelina focuses on helping people make real changes in their lives and feel more grounded day to day.

She offers a calm, person-centred way of working that puts the client’s experience first. Sessions are practical and conversational. Stelina mixes different methods to suit each person rather than using a single fixed approach.

Clients come for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns and self-esteem difficulties. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, body image and major life changes. Stelina pays attention to how early attachment and abandonment experiences shape current patterns.

Her work commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns, psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring life themes, and solution-focused techniques to set clear, manageable goals. She explains tools plainly and practises them together with clients in sessions.

Stelina takes a collaborative style. She helps people set short-term goals while also exploring deeper issues when needed. Appointments are tailored to the person’s circumstances and paced to suit what they need at the time.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person rather than imposing solutions. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clarity and space to find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change habits that cause distress. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic ideas help people see how past relationships and early experiences influence current patterns and emotional reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stelina will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That collaboration means sessions can prioritise short-term goals or go deeper as the client wishes.

Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and offer a quieter, more flexible check-in when needed. It also lets the therapist use worksheets, practical exercises and agenda-setting in-session to get straight to what matters for the client.
