About Stefania
Counsellor Stefania Rossi is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years' experience. She works nationally by video and based in the United Kingdom. Stefania sees people aged 18 and over and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, intimacy and self-esteem concerns.
She offers 45 minute one-to-one, open-ended sessions. Stefania follows the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, takes regular supervision and completes continuing professional development. She also holds an up-to-date DBS Enhanced Certificate and professional insurance.
Her way of working is integrative with a humanistic ethos. That means she uses a mix of approaches such as client-centred, psychodynamic and existential methods and adapts them to the person in front of her. Practically this can look like a mix of reflective listening, exploring past attachment patterns and looking at present thoughts and behaviours.
Stefania has experience with a broad range of concerns. These include attachment issues, bereavement, carer stress, chronic illness, communication problems, divorce and separation, body image, guilt and shame, and work-related stress. She also supports people facing isolation, midlife questions and life purpose concerns.
Initial contact usually begins with a short telephone consultation. That call gives a chance to ask questions and to agree how to proceed. Sessions take place by video, and details about session arrangements are clarified during the first telephone conversation.
How Stefania uses therapeutic approaches online
Stefania draws on Attachment-Based work to look at past and present relationship patterns. This approach helps when abandonment, trust or intimacy problems are part of someone's difficulty. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. That helps people feel understood and to explore their own choices and values.Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. Stefania treats this as a collaborative task and will discuss different methods with the client. Together they decide which approaches fit the client's needs, goals and preferences as sessions progress.
Sessions are offered nationally by video; specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online work makes it easier to fit counselling around day-to-day life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also make it simpler to keep regular appointments across different locations, and to work with the approaches above while still managing other commitments.
