Stella Hendricks, BACP

Stella Hendricks welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep problems or relationship difficulties. She is named in the first paragraph so you know who you would be meeting. The opening sessions focus on what matters now and how those issues are affecting day-to-day life. Stella practises from a psychodynamic perspective. That means she helps people notice recurring patterns and early experiences that shape current feelings and reactions. Conversations aim to make these patterns clearer so new choices become possible. Her work is conversational and paced to the client's needs. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and be heard. The emphasis is on building a gentler relationship with oneself while addressing practical concerns. Stella has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She draws on her experience to help people tackle matters such as grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career stress and sleep difficulties. She also supports people managing mood changes, bipolar features, eating and substance-related concerns. In sessions she pays attention to attachment and relationship issues, including communication, commitment worries, codependency and separation. Her approach includes looking at how past experiences influence current reactions and relationships. If someone wants to begin, the typical route is to use the platform's Start Therapy flow, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. That process helps match practical needs with personal preferences before bookings proceed.

How attachment and psychodynamic work translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and feelings. It helps people notice patterns of closeness, distance or worry in relationships and try out different ways of relating. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to repeated emotional themes and hidden assumptions that influence daily life. It can be useful for unraveling long-standing worries, relationship difficulties and reactions that keep returning. Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose which ideas and techniques fit their goals and preferences. This is an ongoing discussion rather than a one-off decision. Practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It may reduce travel time and allow sessions during a lunch break or from elsewhere, helping continuity of care. For questions about the specific ways sessions are offered here, confirm the current session options with the platform before booking so arrangements match personal needs.
