About Rosa

Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. She supports those coping with trauma and abuse, intimacy and self‑esteem concerns, and people navigating big life changes. Rosa works with individuals across different identities and cultures, and she welcomes international clients in English.

Rosa holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with Neuropsychology and a Master of Science in Clinical and Health Psychology. She does not practise as a psychologist but uses this academic background to inform her counselling. This knowledge helps her connect how thoughts, feelings and the body interact during recovery and change.

Her practice is person‑centred and relational. Sessions focus on being listened to and understood, not just fixing problems. Rosa aims to build trust and emotional attunement so people can feel safer to reflect, make sense of hard experiences, and find ways forward.

She also draws on attachment ideas and psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives to look at relationship patterns and the meaning people give to events. Mindfulness practices and trauma‑focused tools are offered gently and at the client's pace. Optional worksheets and journaling prompts are shared to support reflection between sessions.

Sessions are collaborative and paced according to each person's needs. Rosa emphasises respect for identity, lived experience and personal values, helping people develop clarity, resilience and greater self‑compassion over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment‑based work concentrates on how early and adult relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It is useful for worries about connection, trust and recurring relational patterns. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's agenda so people feel heard and can discover their own solutions. Mindfulness practices bring attention to the present moment and can help with anxiety, stress and grounding after difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rosa aims to collaborate with clients to choose which ideas and tools feel most helpful. Together they review goals, preferences and how interventions are landing, and then adapt the plan as needed.

The biography describes online therapy but does not specify particular formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. They also let people connect across regions or countries when in‑person work is not possible. Rosa shares optional worksheets and journalling prompts that work well alongside online conversations to support reflection between appointments.
