Rosa Tomassi-Bella

Rosa Tomassi-Bella is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship difficulties. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to help people feel heard. Her approach is calm and steady, aimed at making small changes that fit a person’s life.

She trained in psychology and holds a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology. Rosa does not practise as a psychologist, but her studies inform her counselling work and understanding of how mind and body interact.

Rosa works in a person-centred way, meeting each person where they are and following the pace they set. She values the therapeutic relationship and uses it to build trust so people can look at painful experiences, including trauma, grief, and loss. The work is collaborative and shaped around a person’s identity and values.

Alongside talking, Rosa offers optional reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts. These are intended to be practical and adaptable, so people can use them as much or as little as they like. She also supports people with concerns linked to intellectual disability by taking an accessible, respectful approach.

Her sessions aim to create space for clarity, steady coping and increased self-compassion. People who want a gentle, attentive counsellor who values relational depth may find her style helpful.

How Rosa’s approaches work in online therapy

Rosa uses person-centred and attachment-based ways of working to help people feel held and understood. Person-centred therapy focuses on respectful listening and following the client’s pace, which can help with stress, depression and relationship worries. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment or attachment concerns.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people manage difficult feelings by practising gentle awareness and grounding exercises. These approaches aim to make everyday coping easier and reduce reactivity to stress. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided together. The therapist will check goals, preferences and life context and then adapt methods so the work feels useful and manageable.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. The main practical benefit is flexibility - online sessions can be easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel. They also let people work with clinicians across borders and cultural contexts. Online work can include shorter check-ins, paced reflective sessions, and shared use of worksheets or journaling prompts to continue the work between meetings.
