Stefan Nowosielski, BACP

Stefan Nowosielski is a counsellor who explains things clearly and listens carefully. He uses a person-centred approach and draws on other methods to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Stefan is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

He works with a wide range of concerns, including relationship difficulties, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and grief. He also supports people facing trauma, addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, career worries and issues linked to ADHD. Jealousy and intimacy-related worries are among the relationship-focused themes he can address.

In sessions Stefan gives time to describe what is happening and to sort out practical steps. He listens to how experiences feel from the client's point of view. He then uses elements from cognitive behavioural methods, mindfulness, emotionally-focused ideas and narrative ways of thinking to help people make small changes that matter.

Stefan aims to create a warm, honest space where clients feel heard and respected. He encourages self-awareness so people can try things and see what helps. The focus is on what the person wants to change and how to take realistic next steps.

With four years' experience, Stefan supports adults from varied backgrounds and identities. He works collaboratively, helping each person choose ways to move forward that suit their life and goals.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It aims to give people space to describe their feelings and to build their own solutions, which suits conversations about relationships and self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and practical habits. It uses short, focused tasks and experiments that a client can try between sessions to manage anxiety, low mood or stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in emotional responses and how those affect close relationships. It can help people notice how emotions shape their behaviour and try new ways of connecting or responding.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stefan will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods together to see what fits. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into work or family schedules more easily and saving travel time. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when needed and options that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking.
