About Stacy
Stacy Scarisbrick is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She uses a warm, person-focused style to help people cope with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Stacy aims to make sessions feel calm and non-judgemental so people can talk openly and consider practical steps forward.
She blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify patterns of thinking and try out different behaviours.
How Stacy works
Client-centred work focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals. Mindfulness offers simple ways to settle the body and mind between sessions. Stacy has worked in counselling for four years and draws on that experience when helping with difficult life events.
She supports people facing grief, trauma, abuse and issues connected to intimacy and attachment. Practical matters such as sleep struggles, eating concerns, parenting stress and career pressures are also within her remit. Stacy also addresses problems linked to addiction, anger, bipolar mood challenges and coping with change.
She pays attention to how past relationships and patterns can affect present choices, including abandonment or dependent personality issues. This helps people make clearer decisions about relationships and boundaries. Sessions can include motivational conversations to help someone move towards change.
People who want a thoughtful, steady counsellor who listens first and plans next may find her approach helpful.

How these approaches work online
Stacy often combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on being listened to and supported so a person can set their own goals and make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and uses straightforward exercises to test new ways of coping.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stacy will discuss options with each person and decide together which approaches suit their situation and aims. This collaborative planning means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational feel, while phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier during a work break. Live chat or text sessions allow brief check-ins or writing through thoughts between longer appointments. These choices make it easier to attend consistently and to use therapy alongside everyday commitments.
