Rosemarie Savage, BACP

Rosemarie Savage is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and low self-esteem. She works with clients on coping with life changes, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Rosemarie emphasises people’s strengths and respects the client as the expert in their own story.

She uses a gentle, person-focused style that centres the client’s goals and pace. Sessions aim to build confidence and practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges. Rosemarie mixes talking and reflective practices to help people notice what matters to them and what feels different over time.

Her background includes five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has involved supporting people through trauma, mood changes such as depression and bipolar, and complex stress including compassion fatigue and caregiving strain.

Therapy draws on client-centred listening, mindfulness exercises, somatic techniques that connect body and feeling, and trauma-focused approaches when needed. These methods are used to help people with attachment issues, ageing and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and pain, and identity or gender-related worries.

Rosemarie offers an encouraging, collaborative environment where clients set the aims. She helps people turn small steps into steady changes, whether the focus is on coping strategies, clearer communication, or building emotional resilience.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person in front of the therapist. In practice this means sessions concentrate on the client’s goals, and the counsellor reflects back understanding to help people notice shifts and options.

Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention practices and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems and coping with grief by teaching short, repeatable exercises to use between sessions.

Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily sensations alongside thoughts and emotions. That approach can be useful for people affected by trauma, chronic pain, or strong stress responses, and it often involves gentle awareness and breath- or movement-based exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. The therapist will work together with the client to choose what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. Plans can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins during a break or to join from a quieter place. As the biography does not specify formats, confirm the available session types before booking so they fit into everyday life.
