About Chiara
Chiara Stoten offers a calm, person-focused approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or painful relationship patterns. She meets each person where they are and listens to what they want from therapy. Chiara aims to help people find clarity and regain a sense of control at a pace that suits them.
Chiara describes herself as an integrative counsellor and adapts how she works to fit the individual. She commonly draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person's own priorities and a psychodynamic view that looks at how past experiences connect to present difficulties.
Background and approach
Solution-focused ideas are used when people want practical steps and short-term goals. She has six years' experience and has worked in independent practice and with young people in schools and universities. Her caseload has included trauma, dissociation, abuse, depression, stress and relationship concerns, and she has been gaining recent experience supporting people with autism and ADHD.
Chiara also supports people facing issues such as addiction, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, workplace concerns and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. She pays attention to how earlier life events can shape current patterns and helps people make changes that reflect their own aims. Chiara holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP.
Sessions take place in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and scheduling follows the therapist's availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Chiara works online
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at links between past experiences and present patterns. It can help when someone wants to understand recurring relationship problems, reactions to stress, or how early events affect current choices.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Chiara will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt sessions collaboratively. Together they decide whether shorter practical check-ins or deeper exploratory work suits the client's needs.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for different kinds of check-ins, such as brief progress-focused conversations or longer exploratory sessions. Registered or accredited professionals often use this flexibility to match therapeutic pace and the client's day-to-day life.
