Stefania Rossi, BACP

Stefania draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or fears of abandonment. Client-centred counselling is also central to her practice and means sessions begin with careful listening and reflecting so the client feels heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy, used alongside these approaches, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is useful for anxiety and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stefania will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and counsellor try different ways of working and adapt the plan over time to match progress and changing needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy or complex lives. Video calls mimic face-to-face conversation and are useful when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good option for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or who want support spread across the week. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limitations and to try different ways of communicating with a registered or accredited professional.
