Rosa Tomassi-Bella
About me
I am a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom, offering compassionate support to individuals navigating life’s challenges. I specialise in walking alongside clients as they work through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, abuse, grief, and loss — always within a space that is safe, emotionally attuned, and grounded in care.
I hold a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology. While I do not practice as a psychologist, these studies provide a strong academic foundation that enriches my counselling work. They deepen my understanding of how mind and body interact, and they inform the person‑centred support I offer.
As a person‑centred therapist, I believe in meeting each individual exactly where they are. Your lived experience, identity, and values matter, and they shape the way we work together. My approach is rooted in relational depth: the meaningful connection between therapist and client that fosters trust, understanding, and gentle growth. Therapy is not simply about finding solutions; it is about being truly heard, supported, and accompanied as you move through what feels heavy, uncertain, or unclear.
Through online therapy, I offer a flexible and accessible space for reflection, healing, and emotional clarity. I work across cultures, borders, and identities — because person‑centred therapy is about you, not assumptions about who you are or where you come from. Sessions are collaborative and paced gently, with room for you to pause, reflect, and shape the process in ways that feel manageable and respectful of your rhythm.
Alongside our conversations, I also create and share reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts. These resources are designed to be compassionate, non‑judgemental, and flexible — giving you space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. They are always optional, and together we can adapt them so they feel supportive rather than heavy.
You don’t have to carry everything alone. Therapy offers a space where your story can be held with compassion, your feelings honoured, and your needs supported. I’m here to walk alongside you — at your pace, with care, respect, and curiosity — as you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and self‑compassion.
