Stacy Scarisbrick, BACP

Stacy Scarisbrick is a counsellor who uses person-centred and cognitive approaches to help people manage life’s difficult moments. She holds BACP accreditation, which reflects adherence to professional standards. Stacy aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can feel heard and begin to make changes.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and addictions, and also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues. Other areas she works with include grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career-related concerns. Stacy also supports people facing complex challenges such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and blended family worries.

Her approach mixes Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness techniques and elements of psychodynamic work. That means sessions can look like listening and reflecting, noticing patterns of thought and behaviour, practising grounding or breathing strategies, and talking about early life experiences that affect current relationships.

Stacy has four years of clinical experience and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. She aims to help people build coping skills, reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life, and clarify what they want moving forward. The tone is collaborative and paced to each persons needs.

Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients follow the platforms Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling with Stacy.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places attention on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people feel heard and can explore what matters to them. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to process emotions or rebuild confidence.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical strategies to change them. This method can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and some stress-related issues.

Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice the body and breath and to step back from overwhelming thoughts. These practices can reduce rumination and provide tools for coping with intense feelings in everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation guides how sessions are shaped and how progress is reviewed over time.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins during work breaks. Some people also prefer shorter or audio-only sessions when that suits their needs. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises to work effectively across different formats.
