Rosa Tomassi-Bella, BACP

Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with clients dealing with trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues and challenges to self-esteem. Rosa offers a supportive, person-centred space where people can be heard and begin to make sense of what they are feeling.

She trained academically with a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology, though she does not practise as a psychologist. Those studies inform her counselling, giving her a grounded sense of how thoughts, body and emotions interact. Rosa draws on this background to keep conversations practical and connected to everyday life.

Rosa uses a person-centred way of working that values the client’s experience, identity and values. She emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the place where trust and gentle change can grow. Sessions are collaborative, paced to the person, and allow space for reflection rather than rushing to quick fixes.

She also integrates ideas from attachment-based, Jungian, psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches when helpful. Alongside conversation, Rosa offers reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts that clients can use between sessions if they wish. These are optional and adapted to individual needs.

Rosa works across cultures and borders and is open to international clients. Her practice emphasises respect, curiosity and steady support as people work through life changes, intimacy concerns, bereavement, and other personal challenges.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Rosa combines person-centred work with attachment-based thinking and mindfulness to support emotional clarity and relationship concerns. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence current patterns and helps people understand recurring relationship struggles and attachment needs. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings, which can reduce reactivity to stress and help with anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rosa will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest ideas or tools to try. Together you can adjust pace, focus and methods so the work fits your needs rather than following a fixed plan.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life and across borders, and the profile notes she works with international clients. Please confirm the exact session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people choose online sessions for convenience, easier scheduling and the ability to use written or reflective tools between meetings, such as worksheets and journaling prompts that Rosa provides when helpful.
