Mentoring & Trauma-Informed Counselling

Stella Scott

The sex-work industry can be an isolating place. Despite the freedoms many of us have to choose this work, we still wade through a heavily stigmatised and unsupportive culture.

As a counsellor and mentor with my own lived experience as a successful independent sex-worker I am offering services to help others in this rewarding (yet challenging) industry to reach their goals, practice safely, and foster well-being.

Sex work is in many ways like a counselling service – it can be a heavy load to carry and it’s vital that we maintain our own well-being in order to continue to practice sustainably. It is crucial that we have access to regular emotional support and outlets to process and de-brief about our work.

You won’t be judged here.

But rather supported by a professional who understands intimately the complexities of this industry.

Services

I will provide support for you to:

Develop tools to balance work and personal life

Develop tools to prevent burn-out and practice more sustainably

Embody your power and help identify and share the things that make you unique

Process difficult experiences or emotions, such as emotional regulation after a seeing a difficult client

Establish healthy boundaries with clients and develop communication tools to manage clients well

Build self-awareness and confidence

Attract the clients you want to spend time with

Set future life and financial goals

Create a strategy to foster self-care and safety

I use a person-centred approach which means I believe YOU are the expert in your life and with the right guidance and support you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and find the resolutions you need. I use a range of modalities, practices, mindfulness and somatic techniques.

Sessions

Sessions run for 1hr and are $150 – This is a tele-service and my support is given over the phone to protect identities and privacy. Face-to-face sessions in Newcastle are also an option.

If you are experiencing financial hardship please get in touch as I have space to offer discounted rates. You will need to commit to a minimum of 5 sessions to access this discount.

I also offer 30min sessions for $80 if a work de-brief/pep talk is what you are needing.

“Stella was an essential ingredient in helping me establish my practice in the sex work industry. Her generous guidance, lived experience and industry connections were foundational in me developing a healthy work/life balance.

Stella’s ongoing counselling is such an amazing guiding light in my work life. I have called her for pep-talks and she helps me focus on my intentions and feel into my power before some bookings. I have also called her for a de-brief after some difficult or emotionally taxing bookings (actually I have even called her after fantastic encounters as well – just to have an ally to celebrate with!)

Her counsel has kept me grounded, focused on my values and practicing in a way that feels true to me. Stella is a people-person – I would recommend her services to any worker in the industry, no-matter how niche the field!”
