Rosie Spiers, BACP

Rosie Spiers is a Person-Centred counsellor with 15 years of practice. She focuses on listening, understanding and helping people find their own solutions at a pace that feels right.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. She offers a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, grief and changes in life. Rosie aims to help people build self-understanding and practical resilience rather than giving direct advice.

Rosie has a BACP credential, which reflects her professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over the years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including addiction, mood difficulties, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy-related issues. She also focuses on areas such as attachment, body image, communication problems and issues arising from separation or infidelity.

She provides online counselling as well as more traditional session styles, and she tailors the way she works to each person. Sessions are arranged to fit individual needs and preferences, with time taken to build trust and clarity about goals.

People who choose Rosie can expect a steady, non-judgemental presence. The work aims to increase clarity about feelings and behaviour and to support practical steps forward. The emphasis is on collaboration and on helping each person make choices that feel right for them.

How Person-Centred Work Translates to Online Therapy

Person-Centred counselling focuses on empathic listening and acceptance. The therapist aims to offer unconditional positive regard and genuine presence so people can explore feelings and choices. This approach suits issues like stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and trauma where being heard is central.

Alongside a person-centred stance, Rosie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support practical change. These techniques help with sleep and eating problems, managing mood fluctuations, coping with addiction and improving communication. Each technique is presented plainly and used to match a person's immediate needs rather than following a strict protocol.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosie will collaborate with each person to decide which ways of working suit their goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on listening and reflection at first, and then introducing practical strategies when appropriate.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging brings flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to arrange sessions around work, family or travel and to continue therapy when in different locations.
