Rosie Spiers , BACP

Rosie Spiers is a person-centred counsellor who qualified 15 years ago and has developed extensive experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works from an approach grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect for each person’s own story, accompanying clients as they explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a pace that suits them.

Rosie believes individuals are the experts in their own lives, and she offers a supportive, non-judgmental space rather than giving direct advice. That way clients can build self-understanding, resilience, and clarity around decisions and changes. Her practice addresses issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes, addictions, and concerns around intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career, bipolar disorder, and depression, among others.

She holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional organisation for counsellors in the United Kingdom. Rosie also has an additional qualification in counselling children and young people, enabling her to tailor interventions to developmental needs. She is qualified in delivering therapy online and uses that experience to provide accessible remote support.

Rosie’s person-centred work draws on core principles identified by Carl Rogers: offering unconditional acceptance so clients can express themselves safely, practising deep empathy to understand each client’s experience, and being genuine in the therapeutic relationship to build trust. Therapy with Rosie is collaborative and shaped around each individual’s needs rather than a fixed structure.

Person-Centred Care and Practical Online Support

Rosie primarily works from a person-centred framework, an approach that focuses on creating a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship so people can explore their feelings and make changes from within. This method helps with a wide range of concerns by prioritising empathy, emotional understanding, and genuine connection. In addition to that foundation, Rosie integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach practical coping skills and problem-solving strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviours. These techniques are applied in ways that fit each person’s needs and life context.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rosie works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. She listens to the client’s goals, preferences, and experiences and adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Rosie can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life circumstances, enabling people to access consistent support without long journeys or rigid appointment constraints.
