Stacey Farrell , BACP

Stacey Farrell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and six years of work in mental health. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and mood difficulties. Stacey believes people bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives. She aims to offer steady support as someone takes steps toward change.

Her style is direct and warm. Sessions are client-centred so the person’s goals guide the work. Stacey also draws on attachment ideas to understand relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

People come for a wide range of problems, including relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career stress. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, bereavement, domestic violence impacts, and neurodivergent experiences such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Stacey uses practical tools alongside reflective conversation. That might mean testing a different thought in the week, practising a grounding exercise, or working on clearer communication with someone important. She explains methods plainly and sets small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People who choose to work with Stacey start by completing a brief questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviours. It helps when trust, closeness or repeated patterns cause pain in relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, giving space for their priorities to shape each session. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns by testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and work together to try methods that feel useful. That collaborative check-in helps to adapt techniques and pace so sessions match what you need.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and have longer sessions, while phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still using the same therapeutic methods discussed above.
