Stephenson was born in London, England. She moved to Australia with her parents and brother when she was a young child, and grew up in the Queensland suburbs of Mudgeeraba and Burleigh. Stephenson took an interest in the performing arts from a young age, recalling "I have always been drawn to the creative arts. When I was little, I loved getting involved in school plays, dancing, painting and music." At 15, Stephenson realised she wanted to pursue acting. After securing an agent, she appeared in an advertisement for The Courier-Mail.
