Rosa Tomassi-Bella, BACP

Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and midlife change. She offers calm, attentive support for relationship difficulties, trauma and grief. She aims to create a space where people feel listened to and understood as they work through what feels heavy or uncertain.

Her background includes a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology. She does not practise as a psychologist, but these degrees inform her counselling. That knowledge helps her notice how thoughts, emotions and physical reactions link together.

Rosa follows a person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on the individual's experience, values and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations are collaborative, with time to reflect and decide what feels useful next.

She also draws on attachment ideas and psychodynamic and Jungian thinking to understand relational patterns and deeper personal themes. Mindfulness practices and simple reflective exercises are offered when helpful to build grounding and everyday coping skills.

Rosa provides online sessions and works with people across different cultures and identities. She shares optional worksheets and journaling prompts to support learning between meetings. The overall aim is to help people find clarity, greater resilience and kinder ways of relating to themselves.

How Rosa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Rosa uses person-centred counselling alongside attachment-based thinking to help people understand how early and current relationships shape feelings and responses. Attachment work can be helpful for relationship patterns, intimacy concerns and recurring trust issues.

She also draws on mindfulness approaches to build present-moment awareness and simple coping skills. Mindfulness practices can support stress reduction, clearer thinking and calmer responses during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosa collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are paced gently so the plan can change as progress and comfort levels become clearer.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, removing travel time and allowing sessions from different locations. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when time or bandwidth is limited; others use longer video sessions for deeper conversation.
