Stacy Scarisbrick , BACP

Stacy Scarisbrick is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach alongside cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. She holds BACP accreditation, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's standards. Stacy aims to make conversations straightforward and grounded so people can feel heard and understood.

She focuses on stress, anxiety and addictions, and also works with issues such as depression, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Trauma and abuse, including domestic violence and sexual abuse, are within her scope of work. Grief, infant and baby loss, and birth-related trauma are listed among her concerns.

Stacy also supports people facing parenting pressures, postpartum challenges and caregiver stress. Career strain, financial worries and problems with boundaries or codependency are part of her practice. She lists additional areas such as attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, and dissociation.

Her sessions aim to be non-judgemental and respectful. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps and understanding patterns that keep someone stuck. She uses CBT techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and person-centred methods to centre the client's experience.

With four years of experience, Stacy works from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. She accepts international clients and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work online

Stacy uses client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness-informed ideas to shape online sessions. Client-centred counselling centres the conversation on the person and what matters to them, helping people feel heard and able to lead the pace and focus. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to try between sessions, which can be guided remotely.

Mindfulness techniques are often used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress. These approaches suit issues such as anxiety, low mood, stress and difficulties with coping after trauma. Stacy will work together with the client to decide which approaches fit best for their goals and preferences, and may draw on more than one style as needs evolve.

Online therapy provides flexibility for people juggling work, childcare or travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits, phone sessions can be a good shorter option or when a camera is not wanted, and live chat or text-based messaging offers brief check-ins and written reflection. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
