Rosa Tomassi-Bella, BACP

Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a counsellor who helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems. She supports those coping with trauma, abuse, identity questions and life changes, and pays attention to how personal history shapes current struggles. Rosa is based in the United Kingdom and works with people from different cultures and backgrounds. Rosa holds a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology; she does not practise as a psychologist. These degrees give her a solid academic base that informs her counselling work. She draws on that knowledge to explain how emotions and physical experience connect, in everyday language. Her practice is person-centred and relational. Sessions focus on being heard and understood first, and on building a trusting connection that makes change possible. Therapy moves at the client’s pace, with space to reflect, pause and make choices rather than rush to solutions. Rosa also uses approaches from attachment, psychodynamic and Jungian ideas, and she integrates mindfulness to help people manage distress. She often offers optional worksheets and journalling prompts to extend the work between sessions and support practical steps forward. People looking for help with caregiving stress, ageing and geriatric issues, adoption and attachment concerns, neurodiversity, intimacy and sexual culture matters will find these topics within her focus areas. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with a counsellor and schedule sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape emotional patterns; online sessions can help identify repeating relationship themes and build new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s self-direction, giving space for people to tell their story and decide the pace of change. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and manage anxiety in day-to-day life.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rosa works collaboratively, discussing goals and preferences and adjusting methods as the relationship develops. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools and perspectives feel most helpful for the issues at hand.

The profile notes that she offers online therapy, but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports people who live in different countries, since international bookings are accepted. The practical aim is to make sessions adaptable so therapy can sit alongside work, caregiving or other commitments.
