About Stefania
Stefania Rossi is a counsellor accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years' experience. She works with adults and young people aged 18 and over on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people facing life changes and questions about life purpose.
She sees clients nationally via video platforms and offers open-ended 45 minute one-to-one sessions. She practices from an integrative, humanistic perspective and draws on different approaches to suit each person's way of working. She also holds a Level 5 Certificate in Relational Counselling with Relate.
In sessions she combines person-centred and psychodynamic ideas with existential thinking and practical techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches. That can mean focusing on current patterns, exploring past attachments, or learning ways to manage worry and low mood. People often use sessions to talk through relationship problems, intimacy worries, or changes after separation and divorce.
Stefania follows the BACP ethical framework, attends regular supervision and keeps up with continuing professional development. She also holds an up to date DBS Enhanced Certificate and professional insurance. Her practice aims to be straightforward and practical, with time set aside to agree how therapy will proceed.
Initial contact typically begins with a short telephone consultation to ask questions and agree next steps. Sessions are organised by a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.
Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
Stefania commonly uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and connection struggles. This can help when intimacy or repeated relationship problems are the main concern.She also works with Client-Centred principles, which place the person's experience and choices at the centre of sessions. This approach supports people who want space to reflect and make decisions about their next steps.
Finally, she uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques for managing anxiety and stress. CBT offers practical strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be used alongside deeper relational work.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant to the person's goals and try different ways of working if needed. Together they decide which methods to draw on as therapy progresses.
Stefania offers sessions via video platforms; please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a brief session is needed. The therapist will also discuss practical arrangements during the initial telephone consultation to help sessions fit into everyday life.
