About Stefania

Stefania Rossi works with stress, anxiety, relationships, intimacy-related issues, self esteem and coping with life changes using an integrative, humanistic approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' experience offering counselling to people aged 18 and over.

Stefania offers 45 minute one-to-one, open-ended sessions. She works nationally via video platforms and is based in Bedfordshire. She holds a Level 5 Certificate in Relational Counselling from Relate, an enhanced DBS certificate and professional insurance, and follows the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Her work mixes person-centred, psychodynamic and existential ideas so sessions can focus on feelings, relationships and life meaning alongside more practical coping strategies. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how they affect relationships and intimacy.

People meet in a conversational way and explore current problems and past experiences. Practical techniques from cognitive behavioural ideas may be used alongside reflective discussion and relational work when helpful.

Stefania has worked with a wide range of difficulties, including bereavement, carer stress, domestic and emotional abuse, low self-confidence, self-harm, trauma and work-related stress. She also supports people dealing with divorce, separation, chronic illness, body image and isolation.

Sessions begin with an initial telephone consultation where practical arrangements and the best way to work together are discussed. She offers counselling in English and Italian and does not accept international clients at this time.

How Stefania uses different approaches in remote counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections and intimacy. In remote sessions this can help people notice how they relate to others and practise different ways of communicating.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room and uses listening and reflection to help people understand themselves better. It can be useful for low self-esteem, life changes and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping strategies and can include simple tasks to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.

Stefania offers sessions via video platforms and works nationally from the UK, but confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that video work still allows meaningful therapeutic discussion and practical skills practice.
