About Stefania
MBACP. 6 years' experience. Stefania Rossi is a counsellor who works with adults and young people aged 18 and over on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems and midlife difficulties.
She trained to a Level 5 Certificate in Relational Counselling with Relate and is an accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works nationally via video platforms and holds an up-to-date DBS Enhanced Certificate and professional insurance. She also undertakes regular supervision and continuing professional development as part of BACP membership.
Sessions are 45 minutes long and one-to-one. Stefania describes her approach as integrative with a humanistic ethos, and she draws on methods such as client-centred work, psychodynamic ideas and existential thinking to match how a person prefers to work. The initial consultation is by telephone and includes time to ask questions and agree next steps.
In practical terms she addresses a wide range of matters that can affect daily life. These include bereavement, carer stress, low self-confidence, separation and divorce, trauma, work-related stress and emotional or relationship difficulties. Stefania aims to use techniques appropriate to each concern and to the individual’s pacing.
Her practice is offered in English and Italian. Stefania provides open-ended counselling and asks prospective clients to use the online matching and booking process to arrange an initial consultation and plan further sessions.
Approaches used in online counselling
Stefania uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds can affect current relationships; this approach helps when patterns of closeness or distance cause distress. She also draws on Client-Centred therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and helping a person find their own pace and solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical exercises that can reduce anxiety and improve coping.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt techniques over time so sessions fit the person’s needs.
Practical benefits of video sessions include fitting counselling around work, study or caring duties and avoiding travel time. Video can allow regular check-ins and the option to keep sessions to a 45 minute slot to suit a lunch break or an evening. Confirm the current session options when booking to ensure they match your circumstances.
