About Rosa

Rosa Tomassi-Bella offers calm, practical support for people facing tough moments. She is a counsellor who helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and grief. Sessions focus on listening, understanding your experience, and helping you find clearer ways forward.

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 her studies inform the way she understands mind‑body connections and shapes her counselling. Her listed professional credential is BACP, which appears on her profile.

Her work is person‑centred. That means clients lead the pace and focus of sessions. Rosa pays attention to identity, values and lived experience, and adapts the process to what feels most useful for each person. She uses relational depth to build trust and a steady working alliance.

Rosa blends psychodynamic ideas, attachment thinking and mindfulness in simple, down‑to‑earth ways. She may suggest journalling, reflective worksheets and breathing practices to help with daily challenges. These tools are optional and tailored to each person’s needs.

She accepts people across cultures and borders and offers online sessions that aim to fit into everyday life. Rosa emphasises a collaborative approach - she will work with clients to shape goals, timing and the kinds of support that feel manageable.

Approaches used in online counselling and what they do

Rosa draws on attachment‑based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help when people struggle with intimacy, trust or feeling secure in relationships.

She also uses client‑centred work, which focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. This approach supports people who need space to be heard, build self‑understanding and set their own goals.

Mindfulness practices appear alongside her other approaches to help with anxiety, stress and grounding. Simple breathing and noticing exercises are offered as tools to manage moments of overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rosa will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the way she works as those needs change.

Her profile mentions online therapy, so check the platform or therapist page for current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It also lets people access support across regions and cultural backgrounds while keeping the focus on practical strategies and reflection.
