Rosa Tomassi-Bella , BACP

Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a qualified counsellor practising from the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, abuse, grief, and loss. She combines academic training with a person-centred, relational approach that emphasises being heard and understood while working gently toward greater clarity and resilience.

She holds a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology - a bachelor’s level study of psychological processes and brain-behaviour links - and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology - a master’s level focus on psychological approaches to health and clinical concerns. While she does not practise as a psychologist, these degrees inform her counselling and deepen her awareness of how mind and body interact in emotional distress.

Rosa practises from a person-centred stance, meeting each individual where they are and adapting pace, language, and tools to match lived experience, identity, and values. Her work emphasises relational depth - the therapeutic connection that fosters trust, understanding, and gradual growth - and she offers reflective resources such as optional worksheets and journaling prompts to support insight between sessions.

Through online work she provides flexible, accessible options across cultures and borders. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person, with room to pause, reflect, and shape the process. Rosa aims to walk alongside clients with care, curiosity, and respect as they navigate change and work toward increased self-compassion and resilience. She holds the BACP credential.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rosa draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the person’s own perspective and values. This approach emphasises empathic listening and non-directive support to help build self-understanding, confidence, and coping skills - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is also a key part of her work. This approach explores patterns in close relationships and how early attachments influence current emotional responses, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, grief, and trauma-related issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative part of the process. Rosa will work with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting pace and focus as the work evolves so the client feels involved and supported.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support across locations and time zones, helping people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
