Stelina Doko , BACP

Stelina Doko is a compassionate integrative therapist who supports people through life's challenges and personal growth. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Counseling and Coaching and is currently pursuing a Master's in Advanced Psychotherapy, combining academic training with practical experience to shape a thoughtful, evidence-informed approach to care.

With three years of professional experience, Stelina has worked with a diverse range of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem issues, addictions, grief, eating concerns, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses areas such as attachment and abandonment, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, midlife crisis, and mood challenges.

Stelina integrates several therapeutic frameworks to tailor treatment to each person's needs. She draws from client-centered methods to build a warm, empathic space; from cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; from psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences shape present patterns; and from solution-focused strategies to highlight strengths and practical steps forward. She is affiliated with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects a commitment to professional standards.

Her aim is to work collaboratively, helping clients discover resilience, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change whether they seek short-term problem solving or deeper exploration.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy and Care

Stelina often combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgmental environment where a person can explore feelings and values - it is helpful for building self-understanding, self-esteem, and emotional safety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is worked out collaboratively. Stelina discusses goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapts methods to fit each individual's needs while remaining open to evolving the plan over time. Licensed professionals often blend techniques to achieve the best fit, and Stelina follows that flexible, client-focused model.

Online therapy with Stelina is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from various locations, support continuity of care during life changes, and allow clients to choose the format that best supports their progress.
