Stelina Doko , BACP

Stelina Doko is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. She brings a client-centered stance to her work, combining practical strategies with deeper exploration to help clients build resilience and clearer self-understanding. Holding BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she draws on a background that includes a Bachelor’s degree in Counseling and Coaching and ongoing postgraduate study in Advanced Psychotherapy.

With three years of clinical experience, Stelina has worked with a wide range of concerns such as depression, addictions, family conflict, grief, eating and body image issues, parenting and career challenges. She also offers focused support around abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and midlife transitions. Her practice emphasizes strengths, self-compassion, and practical coping skills while attending to the personal history that shapes current patterns.

Stelina works with adults in English, Albanian, and Italian and is accepting clients, including international clients. She offers flexible sessions that can be tailored to each person’s needs and preferences, aiming to create a collaborative space where clients can explore goals, practise new ways of relating, and move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Stelina uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an empathic, non-judgmental space where clients can explore feelings and goals at their own pace - this approach is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding, improved self-esteem, and support through transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Psychodynamic Therapy is another strand in her work, offering a way to examine how past experiences and relational patterns influence present emotions and choices, which can be useful for long-standing difficulties and attachment issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Stelina works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to keep it relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Stelina offers flexibility in how sessions take place - clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit their schedules and comfort. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care across distances and life circumstances while allowing therapists and clients to focus on progress and practical outcomes.
