About Rosa
Rosa Tomassi-Bella offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She works in a person-centred way, listening first and helping people make sense of what feels overwhelming. Her practice is grounded in care and respect for each person’s identity and experience, including LGBT lives.
She has a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology. Rosa does not practise as a psychologist, but these degrees inform her counselling and deepen her understanding of mind-body connections.
Background and approach
That knowledge helps her tailor conversations and resources to each person’s needs. Rosa bases her work on relational depth and person-centred principles. Sessions focus on being heard, naming what feels difficult, and deciding together what steps feel manageable.
She uses reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts when useful, always making them optional and adaptable. Her practice also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at how patterns from the past influence current relationships and self-image. Mindfulness methods are available to help with grounding and emotion regulation in day-to-day life.
Rosa offers online sessions that aim to fit around life and different locations, and she works across cultures and borders. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people pace the work according to their energy and commitments.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Rosa draws on person-centred practice and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Person-centred therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and on shaping the work around the client’s values and pace. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to make sense of feelings.Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help when trust, intimacy or recurring relationship issues feel stuck and people want to understand their reactions and try new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Rosa will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to use and how quickly to move, so the process stays manageable and personalised.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around busy lives and differing locations. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find that online sessions reduce travel time, allow regular check-ins during life transitions, and make it easier to access support across borders and cultures. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools like worksheets and mindfulness exercises for remote use to support progress between sessions.
