Hello, my name is Stella and I live in beautiful Mid Devon. I am a qualified Person-centred counsellor. I welcome you to my garden counselling room in Tiverton which is private and confidential.
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." - Carl Rogers
Everyone has a story — and sometimes, parts of it are hard to carry alone. I offer calm, confidential counselling for adults navigating a range of challenges, from eating disorders and men’s mental health to experiences like Boarding School Syndrome. Whether you're facing something new or unpacking long-held pain, I work gently, at your pace. Sessions are available in-person in Mid Devon or online across the UK.
P"Stella's warmth, humour and kindness shine through constantly. She genuinely cares and made me feel truly safe in her supportive, thoughtful and insightful approach."
L"My sessions with Stella felt comfortable and welcoming. I experienced a non-judgmental space which helped me to relax and open up”
M"Stella has helped me when I felt I had nowhere else to go. She has a knack of helping you open up. Thank you Stella x."
J"I am truly grateful for the way you have helped me to understand myself better and for always believing in me, even when I struggled to believe in myself. Thank you so much!"
Initial consultation
You can book a free 10 minute consultation with me via phone where we can discuss if I can help you
First appointment
An ideal opportunity to meet with me face to face and see if we can build a good connection, this will include an initial assessment to help me gain a deeper understanding of the things important to you.
This may include questions around your relationships, childhood, emotions behaviour and issues that you find difficult and why you have started counselling.
Becoming your safe space
Moving forward, I will encourage you to talk freely about your feelings and emotions without fear that I will judge or criticise you. Our sessions are a safe space for you to be truly heard and valued.

There’s no set number — some people come for just a few sessions, others choose longer-term support. We’ll go at your pace and regularly review what’s working for you.
Yes, counselling is a safe and confidential space. What you share stays between us — the only exceptions are if there’s a serious risk of harm, in which case I’ll always try to discuss this with you first.
Each session lasts 50 minutes. You’ll be invited to talk about whatever’s on your mind — there's no pressure or expectations. I’ll listen, support, and help you explore things safely and at your own pace.
I offer both. Sessions can take place in person in Mid Devon, or online if that feels more comfortable or convenient for you.
