About Rosa
Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and intimacy-related concerns. Rosa also supports issues around self-esteem, coping with life changes, LGBT matters and family-related pressures.
Rosa trained in psychology and clinical and health psychology at university level. She does not work as a psychologist, but her BSc and MSc inform her counselling. That background shapes how she notices the links between body and mind and how she frames conversations in sessions.
Her main style is person-centred, which means sessions focus on the client’s experience and values. She pays attention to the relationship in the room and aims for steady, paced conversations rather than rushing to solutions. Clients are invited to reflect and shape the work as it goes along.
Rosa also draws on psychodynamic ideas and attachment-based perspectives to understand patterns that repeat in relationships. Jungian concepts and mindfulness practices may be used to help people notice feelings and inner imagery. Worksheets and journaling prompts are offered when they fit the individual’s way of working.
She offers online sessions across cultures and borders and frames sessions to be manageable and respectful of each person’s rhythm. The practical aim is clearer thinking about hard feelings and steadier ways of coping with them, including guilt and shame when those emerge.
People who want to explore how past experiences shape current feelings may find this approach useful. Rosa encourages short steps, reflection between meetings, and collaborative decisions about pace and focus.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rosa uses a person-centred style that keeps the focus on the client’s experience and values. In practice this means sessions are conversational, paced by the client, and driven by what matters to them right now. This approach helps when people bring complex feelings like guilt or shame because the work begins from their own account.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. Attachment perspectives help people see how early relationships shape responses to loss, trust and intimacy. Psychodynamic and Jungian notions are used to notice repeating patterns, imagery and underlying themes that appear in relationships and personal meaning.
Finding the right approach is treated as a shared task. Rosa works with each person to decide which methods to try, guided by their goals and preferences. That collaborative stance means the plan can change as understanding grows and new priorities emerge.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking because they are not specified in the biography. In general, online work can make fitting therapy into everyday life easier - it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins around a busy day, and give access across borders. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt worksheets and mindfulness practices to suit video or phone sessions so the work continues between meetings.
