Integrative counselling for personal clarity and control
Start with Chiara StotenLicensed · Professional · Cancel Anytime
Chiara Stoten is an integrative counsellor who adapts her approach to suit each person she works with. With six years of experience, she draws from a range of therapeutic styles - including person centred, humanistic, existential, psychodynamic and solution focused methods - to match the needs and preferences of the individual.
She prioritises respectful listening and collaborative goal-setting, and she works at a pace that feels comfortable for the person in therapy. Chiara pays attention to how past experiences connect with present life events in order to support people in gaining greater clarity and a stronger sense of control.
Chiara has four years of private practice experience in the Bristol area, seeing a diverse range of clients. She has substantial experience working with trauma, dissociation, abuse, depression, stress, anxiety and relational issues, and she is also developing recent experience with autism and ADHD.
Her work has included people of all ages, with particular experience supporting young people in schools and universities as well as adults across the lifespan. She believes the healing process looks different for everyone and that therapy should be shaped around what suits each person best. She looks forward to meeting you.
Many people ask whether online therapy can genuinely help. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or coping with life changes - research and practice show that remote therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person work for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals, and if someone feels they need a different therapeutic fit they can switch to another therapist at any time.
