Client Experience -
"From the first time I worked with Stella, I saw light at the end of the tunnel."
Your inner child still remembers rejection. This short explores how childhood trauma and rejection wounds shape the nervous system, leading to people-pleasing, hypervigilance, and fear of vulnerability.
These patterns are not who you are — they are learned survival responses from childhood.
Inner Child Healing helps you understand and release these patterns safely.
Inner Child Healing
is a trauma-informed 3 part programme for healing grief, burnout, and nervous system overwhelm.
Emotional Recalibration Therapy integrates hypnotherapy, somatic awareness and compassionate healing for childhood trauma, attachment wounds and unhelpful coping habits, supporting deep, lasting emotional transformation.
Sessions are available in London or online.
Your body remembers the first time you felt unwanted. That first no, that silent dismissal, the absence of care. It wired your system for vigilance. Now, even subtle micro rejections, a glance, a silence, a delayed text, can feel like life-threatening blows. That wiring runs deep through the body's stress and safety system. Rejection activates a fight, flight, freeze, fawn response. It often leads to chronic people pleasing, hypersensitivity to judgment, deep-rooted self-doubt, avoidance of vulnerability, fear of showing your true self. It's your body doing its best to protect you from pain it never wants to feel again.
"I will walk beside you as you remember who you are beneath the ache. You're not too much, your'e not broken. Together, we will create the conditions for gentle, lasting change."
Testimonial
“…I wish you could
cut me open and
see the light and
warmth that’s been
switched on in me
and that is
because of Stella”
Disclaimer: Identity, Integrity and Respect.
I welcome all clients into this work with deep care, integrity, and mutual respect — regardless of background, culture, or belief.
My name is Stella Dove — legally, professionally, and personally. Any appearance of a former name (for example, in older email accounts or archived documents) is not a reflection of deception or concealment, but simply digital legacy. My current name reflects my truest self and is recognised in all formal records.
I do not centre my ethnicity, religion, or heritage in my work — but I do not erase them either.
If your healing requires a practitioner of a specific identity, I wholeheartedly support your choice to find someone aligned with that. This is a space of safety, not sameness.
I work with clients of all faiths and none. What I will not tolerate is prejudice, covert or overt, based on culture, religion, gender, or orientation.
If you have questions about who I am or how I hold space, I welcome honest, respectful dialogue before we begin.

Testimonials
You'll find testimonials dotted throughout the site, or please feel free to check out my google reviews too. Please note that because this is a highly personal journey, many of my clients are reluctant to "go public" about treatment, especially if they are very private or high profile, but you can find Rachel's testimonial on my blog, What Is A Medicine Woman?
Stella's work in emotional healing is deep, compassionate, and truly transformational
Stella's counselling is ‘personalised’! She will not ever be trying to put you into a cookie cutter mould, the “one size fits all model”.
I wish you could cut me open and see the light and warmth that’s been switched on in me and because of you. You have given so much Stella. So so much. You are a gift.
Stella helped me peel back the noise, the masks, the old trauma stories, and guided me back to myself.
