About Rosa
Rosa Tomassi-Bella offers calm, steady support to people facing heavy life moments. She works with individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, trauma and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Her manner is warm and attentive and she aims to create a space where clients feel heard and respected.
Rosa holds a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology. She does not practise as a psychologist but uses this academic background to inform her counselling. This knowledge helps her understand how thoughts, feelings and the body interact during difficult times.
Her practice is person‑centred and relational. That means Rosa focuses on building a trusting connection and follows each person’s pace and priorities. Sessions are collaborative and paced gently, with time to reflect and make small, manageable steps.
Rosa draws on approaches such as attachment work, Jungian ideas, mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives to tailor sessions to the individual. She also offers optional worksheets and journaling prompts to support reflection between meetings.
She works with cultural and identity differences and accepts clients from outside the UK. Rosa aims to help people move toward clearer thinking, greater self‑compassion and practical ways to cope with change and loss.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Rosa uses person‑centred and attachment‑based ideas to shape online sessions. Person‑centred work means the conversation follows the client’s concerns and priorities, with the counsellor offering attuned listening and gentle reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. Attachment‑based work focuses on relationships and connection, helping people understand patterns in how they relate to others and how those patterns affect stress and grief.She also draws on mindfulness practice to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress and for finding steadiness during bereavement or big life changes. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; Rosa works collaboratively to select methods that match the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than insisting on a single model.
Practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions around work and caring responsibilities and the ability to attend from different locations. If you want to use the online option, confirm the session formats offered before booking so you can pick what suits you. The aim is to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life while keeping the focus on thoughtful, paced support.
