Rosa Stevens , BACP, NCPS

Rosa Stevens is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings eight years of professional experience to her practice. Rosa speaks English and Italian and focuses on practical help for common life stresses.

Rosa works with people who are feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed by change. She supports those struggling with parenting, self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues connected to sexuality and identity. Her work also covers career stress, compassion fatigue and caregiver strain.

Her sessions mix listening with practical tools. Rosa draws on client-centred ways of working to follow the person’s lead. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Mindfulness and Jungian ideas also appear when they suit the person’s aims.

Rosa aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. She helps people notice patterns, practise new responses and set small, realistic goals. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

People can expect a direct but warm approach that combines reflection with doable steps. She supports issues such as postpartum depression, obsessive thoughts, eating and fertility concerns, domestic violence aftercare, codependency and divorce recovery. Rosa helps people move from stuck patterns toward more balanced day-to-day living.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help someone make sense of their experience and choose what to work on. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to change habits that maintain distress. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, low mood, parenting stress and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit the person’s needs. That process is collaborative and can adapt over time as priorities shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing contact between sessions or a lower-key way to talk when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
