About Stelina
She uses a flexible, client-centred style. Sessions focus on the person's goals and immediate needs. Stelina draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out new behaviours in everyday life.
Stelina also works with underlying patterns that have grown from past experiences, using psychodynamic ideas to name how old hurts can shape current reactions. Where someone wants short-term, goal-focused work she can use solution-focused methods to map clear steps forward.
Her areas of interest include relationships, family tensions, grief, body image, addictions, parenting stress and midlife crisis concerns. She supports people dealing with feelings of abandonment, guilt, isolation and low self-worth, and helps with career and coaching questions.
She offers therapy in English, Albanian and Italian and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Stelina's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflective feedback so people can explore feelings and decide on next steps. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to think through difficult choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches straightforward skills to test and change unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviours. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and practical changes in daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix approaches as needs evolve, with steps and exercises agreed together.
Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in between sessions. Discuss format preferences when you start so sessions can be arranged to match your day-to-day routine.
