About Stefan
Counsellor Stefan Nowosielski is a BACP member with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He focuses on relationship difficulties, family matters, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and related problems including trauma, grief and parenting concerns.
Stefan uses a person-centred approach as his main framework. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness, emotionally-focused work and existential thinking to help clients look at patterns and make small changes. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with time to talk things through and reflect on what matters most to the individual.
He has supported people with a wide range of issues such as addictions, sleeping problems, career stress, intimate relationship concerns and difficult life changes. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, blended family issues, first responder stress, fatherhood issues and hoarding. Stefan works with adults from diverse backgrounds and identities.
Stefan tends to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. He uses mindfulness exercises and emotion-focused steps when appropriate, alongside conversational work that centres the person’s experience. The aim is clearer understanding and practical next steps rather than labels or jargon.
Sessions follow a collaborative style. Stefan will listen to what a person brings and then suggest options drawn from his mix of approaches. He asks about immediate goals and practical constraints so the work can fit into everyday life.
To begin, people are invited to use the site matching process to book a first session. Fees vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model for payments.
How his approaches work for online counselling
Client-centred work focuses on the person’s experience. The counsellor listens and reflects what a person says to help them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach suits people who want time to talk through their concerns and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress related to work or parenting.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on close relationships and how emotions guide interaction. It can help with intimacy-related issues and difficulties in how partners or family members connect emotionally.
Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a shared task. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, suggest techniques from different models and adjust the plan as work progresses. The aim is to match methods to what the person needs and what fits their life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use audio-only options if video is difficult or choose approaches that suit quieter surroundings.
