About Rosa

Rosa Tomassi-Bella helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, LGBT concerns, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues using a person-centred approach. She is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience practising in the United Kingdom.

Rosa trained in psychology, holding a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology; she does not practise as a psychologist but uses that background to inform her counselling. In sessions she focuses on the relationship between mind and body and how that affects everyday coping and mood.

Her main style is person-centred, which means she listens and follows the client's lead. She aims to create relational depth through steady, attentive engagement so clients can explore what feels difficult or unclear. Sessions may include reflective exercises, journaling prompts and worksheets when these fit the client's pace.

Rosa also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns in relationships and earlier life experiences that influence current reactions. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and practical ways to manage anxiety and stress.

She works with a wide range of concerns that include abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiving stress, codependency, communication and control problems. Rosa supports people across cultures and nations and offers sessions in English.

To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions are run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with cost varying by location.

How her approaches fit with online counselling

Rosa uses person-centred practice combined with attachment-based and mindfulness elements. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, following the client's lead and working at a comfortable pace; it helps with grief, depression and general life stress. Attachment-based ideas look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions, which can be useful for intimacy and communication issues. Mindfulness offers simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, and these tools can reduce immediate anxiety and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rosa works collaboratively to identify which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences, and she reviews the plan as work progresses so the approach can change if needed.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports access across borders for international clients. Rosa provides optional reflective worksheets and journaling prompts that can be used between sessions to reinforce what is discussed.
