Rosemarie Savage, BACP

Rosemarie Savage helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She supports those dealing with low self-esteem, motivation struggles, addiction and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. Rosemarie works with people on relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and issues around identity including LGBT and gender dysphoria.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions are practical and based on what the client needs right now. Rosemarie uses listening, gentle reflection and paced exercises to help people find more calm and clarity.

She draws on client-centred ways of working to keep the pace and goals set by the person in the room. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage anxiety, sleeping problems and intense emotions. Somatic approaches are used when tension or past trauma is held in the body and needs a different kind of attention.

Rosemarie has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. She works with a wide range of concerns including addiction, chronic illness, caregiver stress, attachment difficulties and eating or sleeping problems. Sessions aim to be practical, respectful and paced to each person’s situation.

If someone is ready to begin, they start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times. Therapy may include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs.

How her approaches work online and in session

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and timing. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears and helps the person find their own solutions; this approach is useful for confidence, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and breathing or grounding practices. These tools can reduce anxiety, improve sleep and help manage strong emotions by bringing attention into the present moment.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Rosemarie will talk with the client about what feels most helpful and try different techniques together until the best fit is found. The work is collaborative and adapts as goals change over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expressions and use visual tools during a session. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, paced reflection and written notes to re-read later. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caring responsibilities and different time zones.
