About Stefan

Stefan Nowosielski is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with adults facing relationship problems, anxiety, depression and life changes. Stefan also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career uncertainty, grief, addictions and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

His approach is person-centred and integrative. He listens to how people describe their experience and uses that to choose helpful techniques in the room. He draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused methods, existential thinking and mindfulness practices.

In sessions Stefan offers practical ways to look at patterns, unhelpful thoughts and relationship dynamics. He helps people spot small changes that make daily life easier. He also works on practical coping strategies for sleep, stress and overwhelm.

He has supported people through bereavement, workplace stress, trauma-related concerns, addiction and difficult family dynamics. Additional areas he addresses include abandonment, blended family challenges, fatherhood-related worries, caregiver stress and issues around commitment and control.

Stefan invites people to describe what matters to them and to test out different ways of responding. He explains options plainly and helps people choose approaches that fit their goals. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Stefan will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help pick methods that suit those aims. This is a collaborative process where techniques can be tried and adjusted based on what helps.

Please confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions useful for maintaining continuity after life changes, while still working directly on relationships, stress and practical coping strategies.
