About Stefania

Stefania Rossi is a BACP counsellor with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers one-to-one work for people aged 18 and over and commonly sees stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and coping with life changes. Stefania also lists specific focuses such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose and midlife questions.

She trained to an advanced level in relational counselling and holds a Level 5 Certificate in Relational Counselling with Relate. Stefania is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and follows the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. She maintains regular supervision and continues professional development, and she holds an enhanced DBS certificate and professional insurance.

Sessions are 45 minutes long and one-to-one. Stefania describes her overall approach as integrative with a humanistic ethos, which means she draws on different methods to suit a person's needs and preferences rather than relying on a single style. She names Person Centred, Psychodynamic and Existential ways of working among the influences that shape her practice.

People often come to her when past attachments or current relationship patterns feel stuck, or when guilt and shame have become constant themes. In consultations she will discuss practical arrangements and how to work together, and this conversation can help shape the pace and focus of ongoing sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and Italian and are available nationally via video platforms. Stefania does not accept international clients outside the United Kingdom.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Stefania works from an integrative perspective and often combines relational and cognitive ideas. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at past and present relationship patterns and helps people see how early bonds shape current reactions. It can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment problems and recurring relationship difficulties.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. It gives space for someone to make sense of their feelings without pressure, which can help with self-esteem, shame and decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot thought patterns and try different responses, which many people find helpful for stress and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stefania treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences during the initial consultation and subsequent sessions.

If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a week - it can remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let someone attend from a location that is convenient. The therapist will explain practical arrangements and help find a setup that fits everyday life without assuming a single format.
