Rosa Tomassi-Bella, BACP

Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a UK-based counsellor who provides compassionate, person-centred support to people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and life transitions. She works with clients across identities and cultures, creating an emotionally attuned space that prioritises listening, relational depth, and gentle pacing to meet each person where they are.

Rosa holds a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology - academic degrees that inform her understanding of how thoughts, emotions, and physical experience interact. She does not practise as a psychologist, but she draws on this training to enrich her counselling and to offer evidence-informed, person-centred care.

Her practice emphasises connection and being truly heard rather than quick fixes, and sessions are shaped collaboratively to respect each client’s rhythm and values. She offers reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts as optional resources to support self-exploration and emotional clarity.

Rosa is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and she provides online therapy across borders, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make support accessible and adaptable to people’s lives.

Approaches for online therapeutic work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and expectations in close relationships. It helps people explore attachment styles, repair connection difficulties, and build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental, empathic therapeutic relationship where the therapist offers acceptance and understanding so the client can explore values, identity, and personal goals at their own pace. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical awareness techniques for noticing thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotions without harsh judgement - tools that can support stress management, anxiety, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Rosa collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt techniques and pace the work to suit what feels most helpful and manageable.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and life circumstances. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care across locations, fit sessions into busy lives, and use written resources or prompts in between conversations, while licensed professionals guide the process and tailor interventions to each client.
