Rosa Tomassi-Bella, BACP

Rosa Tomassi-Bella welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, grief, anxiety or low mood. She meets individuals who are questioning relationships, intimacy, identity or self‑worth and wants to offer steady, calm support. Sessions are intended to feel respectful and human, with an emphasis on listening and understanding first.

Rosa has 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 academic background informs her counselling work and deepens her grasp of how mind and body interact. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects the professional standards she follows.

Her practice draws on person‑centred principles. That means the individual and their lived experience guide the pace and focus of sessions. She also uses attachment ideas and psychodynamic thinking to notice relationship patterns and early influences that affect present feelings and choices.

Rosa integrates mindfulness and Jungian perspectives to help people connect with inner experience and personal meaning. She offers reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts to use between sessions when helpful. These are optional and adapted to what feels manageable for each person.

Online sessions are offered across borders and cultures, and she works in English. Conversations are collaborative and paced gently, with space to pause and reflect. Rosa aims to hold people’s stories with care while helping them build clarity, resilience and stronger self‑compassion.

How Rosa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Rosa blends person-centred work with attachment-informed thinking to help people notice how past and current relationships shape feelings today. Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns of relating and can be useful for anxiety, intimacy concerns and building safer ways of connecting with others.

She also draws on mindfulness to help people bring gentle attention to difficult thoughts and bodily sensations. Mindfulness practice can aid stress management, grounding during moments of panic and clearer thinking when decisions feel hard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to what feels most helpful, making the process collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations and allow visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, reflective writing or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across time zones and busy lives, while keeping sessions manageable and focused on what matters.
