Rosa Tomassi-Bella, BACP

Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and issues around intimacy. She presents a calm, attentive presence and focuses on understanding each person's experience before moving forward. Her style suits people who want a steady, patient approach and time to reflect.

Rosa trained academically in psychology, gaining a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology. She does not practise as a psychologist but uses that knowledge to inform her counselling. She holds BACP membership, which she uses as a guiding framework for professional practice.

She works in a person-centred way, listening first and following the client’s lead. That means conversations are paced to the individual and shaped around what matters most to them. She also draws on psychodynamic and attachment ideas to understand patterns in relationships and early experiences.

Mental health issues such as trauma, abuse, depression and anxiety are addressed with sensitivity and care. Rosa offers reflective tools like worksheets and journaling prompts when they feel helpful, and these are optional additions to sessions rather than a requirement.

Rosa provides online counselling across borders and cultures in English. Sessions aim to help people untangle difficult feelings, explore relationship and intimacy concerns, and build greater self-compassion. She encourages a collaborative process where goals are agreed together and progress is reviewed as therapy continues.

How Rosa’s approaches translate to online counselling

Rosa uses person-centred work that focuses on the client’s experience and needs, offering a steady, listening-based approach that helps people feel heard and decide what to explore. This is useful for concerns like anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape patterns in current connections, which can help with intimacy issues, commitment worries and communication problems. Psychodynamic themes are used to notice recurring patterns and increase self-understanding over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosa treats the first sessions as a chance to learn about each person's situation, goals and preferences, and she collaborates with clients to choose how to proceed. That way therapy fits the person's needs rather than the other way around.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare or other commitments, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist across regions and cultures while keeping the focus on the practical aims you bring to therapy.
