Stella Hendricks, BACP

Stella Hendricks is a UK-credentialed therapist with five years of professional experience supporting people who struggle with self-esteem and confidence, relationship difficulties, stress and anxiety, sleep problems, and challenges with motivation. She brings a psychodynamic perspective to her work, focusing on the deeper patterns, early experiences, and emotional dynamics that shape how someone thinks, feels, and relates in the present.

Through exploration of those underlying dynamics, Stella aims to help people gain clearer insight into recurring patterns and to identify healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Her approach emphasizes thoughtful reflection and gradual change rather than quick fixes, with attention to how past relationships and emotional experiences influence current behaviour and feelings.

Stella strives to provide a warm, open, and nonjudgmental space where individuals can speak freely and feel heard. She works at each person’s pace, gently exploring what lies beneath surface symptoms and supporting the development of a more grounded and compassionate relationship with the self. Stella holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and recognises that reaching out for therapy is a courageous step, so she aims to meet people with care and presence as they begin that process.
