About Rosa
Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and intimacy or self‑esteem concerns.
Rosa draws on a psychology background to inform her counselling. Her BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology are part of what she brings to sessions, though she does not practice as a psychologist. She uses person‑centred ways of working that focus on what matters to the individual in front of her.
Her work starts with listening and making space for the client to describe what feels difficult. Conversations are paced to suit the person, with room to pause and reflect. She offers reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts when these might help, and they are optional rather than prescriptive.
Rosa pays attention to relational patterns and attachment concerns, and she draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to help people make sense of repeated difficulties. Mindfulness techniques are used to support managing anxiety and stress in practical ways.
Her approach is collaborative. Clients shape the goals and direction of the work. She accepts clients across cultures and borders and aims to adapt sessions to each person’s background and identity.
Practical focus areas include coping with life changes, communication problems, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, body image, and intimacy related concerns. Sessions are paced gently to fit around everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Rosa uses attachment‑based ideas and client‑centred work to understand relational patterns and what a person needs from relationships. Attachment‑based approaches look at how early connections shape expectations and reactions in current relationships, which can help with communication, intimacy and family tensions.She also uses mindfulness techniques to support stress and anxiety management. Mindfulness in practice means simple breathing and grounding exercises, plus short practices people can use when feeling overwhelmed or distracted.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Rosa will discuss different ways of working and decide together with the client which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
