About Rosa

Rosa Tomassi-Bella offers calm, steady support for people facing stressful life moments. She helps with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, self‑esteem and navigating big changes. Her approach pays attention to each person’s story and identity. Rosa works in English and accepts clients from other countries.

Rosa holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with Neuropsychology and a Master of Science in Clinical and Health Psychology. She does not practise as a psychologist, but says these degrees inform her counselling. Those studies help her understand how mental and physical responses connect, which she brings into sessions.

Her main orientation is person‑centred therapy, which means she focuses on the client’s perspective and values. She emphasises a warm, attuned relationship that aims to build trust and emotional safety. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the person attending.

Rosa also draws on attachment‑based ideas and psychodynamic thinking to look at relational patterns and past experiences that still affect day to day life. Mindfulness practices and Jungian ideas may be used to deepen self‑awareness when appropriate.

She shares optional reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts to support learning between sessions. These are offered gently and can be adapted to fit an individual’s needs and rhythm. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

How Rosa’s approaches translate to online counselling

Rosa uses person‑centred work that prioritises the client’s view and pace, offering a space where a person can be listened to without judgement. This approach helps when someone needs understanding, emotional support, or clear space to make sense of difficult feelings.

She also draws on attachment‑based ideas to explore how past relationships shape present reactions and patterns. That work can be useful for people who notice repeated difficulties in relationships or who struggle with trust and closeness. Psychodynamic thinking is used to gently look at underlying themes from past experiences that affect current life, which can help when emotional patterns feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what methods and pace suit the client’s goals and preferences. That conversation can shift over time as needs change, and strategies such as reflective tools or mindfulness exercises may be introduced gradually.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check‑ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people in different countries to connect with a registered BACP counsellor without having to change their routines.
