Rosie Gibbs, BACP, NCPS

Rosie Gibbs offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She speaks plainly and gives space to talk. Rosie is named here so readers know who they would meet in sessions.

She works at a pace chosen with the client. Sessions focus on what is troubling the person now and on small steps they can take to feel steadier. Conversation, listening and simple strategies are used rather than technical jargon.

Rosie has 12 years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She often helps people coping with grief and bereavement, and has a particular interest in that area. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, low self-esteem and mood instability.

Her approach draws on practical, evidence-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking. Mindfulness and emotion-regulation skills from dialectical behaviour work are used when they suit a person's needs.

Sessions can include short-term focused work or longer-term support. Rosie listens for what matters to the individual, then helps them practise new ways of responding. The aim is to help people feel more in control and able to manage day-to-day challenges.

Rosie offers appointments across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are held via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Approaches for online support and practical change

Rosie draws on acceptance and commitment work which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practise different ways of responding. CBT-style techniques are useful for managing stress, sleep or eating issues and mood swings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rosie will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree a way forward together. Plans are reviewed so methods can be adapted if needed.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversation and exercises, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief updates, reflective exercises or when a written record helps. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caring duties and travel.
