How I can help
Award-winning Consultant Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and Music Therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience across NHS and private practice. She holds a PhD and is registered with three separate professional bodies — UKCP, BACP, and HCPC — and is an accredited Cognitive Analytic Therapist (CAT) through ACAT, placing her among the most credentialled practitioners in the UK. Based in Grange-over-Sands, Lancashire, Stella offers consultancy and therapy to individuals, professionals, and organisations across a wide area from Barrow-in-Furness to Carlisle. Her richly integrative approach combines psychotherapy, Cognitive Analytic Therapy, and music therapy — attending to both mind and body — and her 20-year NHS career has given her extensive expertise with complex and enduring presentations. She brings the same clinical rigour and depth to her private practice and is also an experienced supervisor and researcher.
