Stefan Nowosielski, BACP

Stefan Nowosielski is a fully qualified, person-centred and integrative counsellor who supports adults facing a wide range of life challenges. He works collaboratively with clients to explore difficult events, persistent feelings of being stuck, or uncertainty about how to make changes, offering a client-focused space to identify practical steps forward and build greater self-understanding.

As a member of the BACP, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, Stefan follows professional standards for therapeutic practice. His integrative approach blends person-centred values with elements of transactional analysis, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to tailor support to each person’s needs. He is also trained in the Rewind technique for trauma, PTSD and OCD, which he can draw on when appropriate.

Stefan has experience helping people with anxiety, bereavement, OCD, depression, workplace stress, relationship difficulties, borderline personality disorder, anger, low self-esteem, addiction, sexual trauma and self-harm, among other concerns. He works with issues related to relationships, family, parenting, intimacy, career, ADHD and coping with life changes, and offers particular attention to complex topics such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and hoarding.

Clients can expect warmth and honesty in a respectful therapeutic relationship. Stefan listens for each person’s perspective and supports them to develop greater self-awareness, new ways of coping, and the confidence to make choices that align with their own goals and values. He welcomes adults from all backgrounds, cultures and identities and invites those seeking support to get in touch to discuss next steps.

Approaches that guide online therapy sessions

Stefan works from a client-centred framework, placing the person’s experience and goals at the heart of therapy. This approach focuses on empathetic listening and supporting clients to find their own solutions, which can help with relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and navigating life changes.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and structured, and it can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and certain patterns of worry or avoidance.

Mindfulness techniques are integrated into sessions to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping strategies for overwhelming emotions or stress. These practices often support improved emotional regulation and resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stefan works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time to discover the best fit.

Online therapy with Stefan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexible options to suit different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family and daily life.
