About Stefania

Stefania Rossi is a counsellor with six years' experience who works nationally via video platforms. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds a Level 5 Certificate in Relational Counselling with Relate. Stefania offers 45-minute one-to-one, open-ended sessions and works with adults aged 18 and over.

Stefania keeps the conversation straightforward and practical. She tailors each session to the person in front of her. Sessions often focus on day-to-day stresses, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image worries and caregiver stress.

Her approach is integrative and grounded in a humanistic ethos. Stefania draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships. She uses client-centred listening to create space for people to be heard. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot and change limiting thinking.

Work with Stefania can also include reflection on meaning and life choices, informed by existential and Jungian perspectives. The aim is to help people understand patterns, make practical changes and reconnect with what matters to them. Sessions begin with a short telephone consultation so practical details and expectations can be discussed.

Sessions are offered in English and Italian. International clients are not currently accepted. Stefania holds an up-to-date DBS Enhanced Certificate and professional insurance and takes part in regular supervision and continuing professional development.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Stefania uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present patterns, helping people notice and change repetitive cycles that affect intimacy and trust. Client-centred therapy underpins her way of working by offering empathic listening and space for people to lead the conversation, which is useful for building confidence and self-understanding. She also applies cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small practical changes that can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stefania treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs to decide which methods suit each person. She adapts her blend of approaches as the therapeutic relationship develops and as priorities shift.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are set out in the therapist's profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help if you prefer not to be on camera or want a session that is easier to schedule during a busy day.
