About Rosa

Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She describes her work as person-centred and aims to create a calm, attentive space where people feel heard as they talk through what feels hard.

Rosa draws on her BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology to inform her counselling style, though she does not practise as a psychologist. Those degrees help her explain how thoughts, emotions and everyday habits interact with the body and day-to-day functioning.

Her practice places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. Rosa focuses on building trust and understanding so clients can take small, manageable steps toward change. Sessions tend to be paced gently, allowing space for reflection and slow progress rather than quick fixes.

She uses person-centred principles alongside approaches such as attachment work, Jungian ideas and mindfulness to suit the person in front of her. Alongside conversations, Rosa offers optional reflective tools like worksheets and journaling prompts to support thinking between sessions.

Rosa works with a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, LGBT matters, family-related stress, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her goal is to help people find more clarity, resilience and self-compassion through steady, collaborative work.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Rosa often combines person-centred thinking with attachment-based and mindfulness approaches. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people notice how they relate to others and to themselves. Mindfulness offers simple practices to ground attention and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress, anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose what feels helpful, adapting methods over time based on needs, goals and preferences. This means sessions can change focus as understanding grows, and tools are offered in ways that fit each person.

The biography describes online therapy as a way Rosa offers flexible support, but it does not list specific formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow calmer check-ins when schedules are busy. It also makes reflective resources like worksheets and journaling prompts easy to share between sessions so progress can continue outside the appointment.
