Rosa Tomassi-Bella, BACP

Rosa Tomassi-Bella offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief or relationship strain. She focuses on creating a warm, listening space so clients can speak honestly and make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions aim to be paced to each person’s needs and lived experience.

Rosa holds a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology. She does not practise as a psychologist, but says these degrees inform her counselling work and deepen her understanding of mind–body connections. She is registered with the BACP, which is shown as BACP in her credentials.

Her practice is rooted in person-centred values and relational depth. That means the relationship between counsellor and client matters, and Rosa places emphasis on listening, empathy and collaboration. She frames therapy as a space to be heard rather than a rush to quick fixes.

Rosa draws on several clinical influences including attachment ideas, mindfulness, Jungian thinking and psychodynamic themes. In sessions she offers reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts, which are optional and adapted to suit each person’s pace.

She offers online therapy and says she works across cultures, borders and identities. Sessions are described as collaborative and gently paced, with room to pause and reflect. The overall aim is to help people find clarity, resilience and more self‑compassion as they navigate life changes and emotional challenges.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Rosa uses person-centred practice combined with attachment-informed thinking and mindfulness. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead to build understanding and self-direction. Attachment-informed work pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how they affect feelings and safety in relationships. Mindfulness approaches encourage simple noticing of thoughts and bodily sensations to reduce reactivity and support calmer responses.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will check goals, preferences and pace, and together they will try ways of working that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments and reflective tools are used as needed so the method feels useful rather than prescriptive.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it possible to have regular check-ins during workday breaks or to choose quieter moments at home. Because the biography only specifies online therapy, confirm the exact session options before booking to ensure they match personal needs.
