Rosa Tomassi-Bella, BACP

Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a UK-based counsellor who provides compassionate support for people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, abuse, grief, and loss. She offers a listening presence grounded in warmth and relational attunement, guiding clients through difficult moments with patience and respect.

Her academic background includes a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology. She does not practise as a psychologist, but these degrees give her a strong foundation in how mind and body interact and enrich the therapeutic work she offers. She also holds BACP, a recognised counselling membership that reflects professional standards in the field.

Rosa works from a person-centred perspective, meeting each person where they are and valuing lived experience, identity, and personal values as central to therapy. Her practice emphasises relational depth - the meaningful connection between therapist and client that builds trust and supports gentle growth. Therapy with Rosa is not only about problem solving but about being heard, understood, and accompanied through what feels heavy or unclear.

She offers online sessions that reach across cultures and borders, providing flexible, collaborative support paced to the individual. Alongside conversation, Rosa shares optional reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts that can be adapted to each client and used at a comfortable pace. She aims to walk alongside clients with care, curiosity, and respect as they work toward greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.

Attachment and person-centred approaches in online therapy

Rosa draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to support people in an online format. Attachment-based therapy focuses on the ways early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviours, helping clients address patterns in intimacy, trust, and security. It can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment and attachment issues, and trauma-related concerns.

Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering an accepting, non-directive environment where the client’s experiences, values, and choices guide the work. This approach supports self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, and emotional clarity by emphasising empathy, respect, and the client’s own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Rosa works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and tools as the relationship develops.

Online therapy with Rosa uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to support. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life, connect across borders, and continue work between appointments with optional worksheets or journaling prompts that complement the conversations.
