Stefania Rossi, BACP

Stefania Rossi is a counsellor based in Bedfordshire who works with adults across the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds a Level 5 Certificate in Relational Counselling from Relate. Stefania offers 45-minute one-to-one open-ended sessions delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Her style is adaptable and down-to-earth. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, with room to talk, reflect and try different ways of seeing a problem. Stefania describes her approach as integrative with a humanistic ethos, so she draws on several therapy models to match how a client prefers to work.

Clients come for help with stress, anxiety, relationships and intimacy-related concerns, as well as issues around self-esteem and coping with life changes. Stefania also focuses on abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and communication problems. She works with matters such as divorce, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose and midlife transitions.

Stefania keeps regular professional supervision and continues her professional development through training. She also holds an up-to-date DBS Enhanced Certificate and professional insurance. These practises support ongoing ethical and professional standards in her work.

New clients start with a short telephone consultation to ask questions and agree how to proceed. Conversations in sessions are tailored to each person, with practical ideas and reflections offered when they suit the person's goals and pace.

Approaches you can try online with Stefania

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people understand patterns of connection, trust and fear of abandonment. It can be useful for people who notice repeating problems in close relationships and want to change those patterns.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions and relies on careful listening, empathy and respect to help people find their own solutions. This approach suits those who need time to understand their feelings and make decisions at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns. It is often used when someone wants specific tools to manage stress or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and may draw on more than one method as treatment unfolds. This collaborative process makes it easier to adapt the work if things aren’t helping.

Online therapy with Stefania uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation across distances, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is suitable for shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit around busy days. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions around work and family life.
