Stefania Rossi , BACP

Stefania Rossi is a counsellor who trained in relational approaches and has six years' experience. She is a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers 45-minute one-to-one sessions for people aged 18 and over. Stefania works nationally from the United Kingdom using video platforms and also offers phone, chat and text-based options.

Her practice uses an integrative, humanistic ethos that pulls together different ways of working. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships. She uses client-centred methods to create a calm, non-judgemental space. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when practical tools can help manage anxiety or stress.

Sessions are tailored to each person. Stefania explains how she works during an initial phone consultation and discusses boundaries and what to expect. She takes part in regular supervision and continuing professional development as part of her BACP membership.

People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Other areas she focuses on include abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems and midlife concerns.

She offers support in English and Italian and is based in the United Kingdom. Sessions are open-ended and scheduled to fit each person's needs, and she holds an up-to-date DBS Enhanced Certificate and professional insurance.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns show up now. It helps people understand repeated difficulties in intimacy and trust and can be useful for those dealing with abandonment or attachment issues.

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, helping people find their own pace and direction.

Cognitive behavioural therapy is practical and goal-oriented. It looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety or stress active and introduces simple techniques to change patterns and manage symptoms.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and will be a collaborative effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will choose ways of working that fit the client's needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, shorter reflections or people who prefer writing over talking.

These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while keeping the focus on regular, consistent support with a registered or accredited professional.
