Stefania Rossi, BACP

Stefania Rossi is a counsellor based in Bedfordshire who offers one-to-one sessions for people aged 18 and over. She holds BACP, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's ethical framework and engages in regular supervision and continuing professional development. Stefania provides 45-minute open-ended sessions and works with adults across the UK via video platforms.

Her practice is integrative with a humanistic ethos, so she draws on several approaches to match each person's needs. In sessions she helps people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem and life change. She also focuses on topics such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and life purpose.

Stefania aims to build an honest therapeutic relationship and discusses how sessions will run during an initial telephone consultation. That call gives space to ask questions and decide a way forward. She uses techniques from attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural, existential and Jungian approaches as appropriate.

Her background includes a Level 5 Certificate in Relational Counselling with Relate and six years working in therapeutic settings. She has experience supporting people through bereavement, trauma, work-related stress and other complex concerns. Stefania holds an up-to-date DBS Enhanced Certificate and professional insurance.

Sessions are held nationally via video platforms, and she provides information about her practice and commitments under the BACP framework. People who speak English or Italian can work with her, and international clients are not accepted.

How Stefania uses different approaches in online therapy

Stefania often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people who notice repeated relationship problems, feelings of abandonment, or difficulty trusting others. Client-centred work is also central to her practice and focuses on listening, acceptance and working at your pace; it supports people who need space to explore thoughts and feelings without pressure.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and everyday habits that sustain anxiety or low mood. These practical tools can be useful for managing stress, intrusive worries, or tasks like building new routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stefania treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods to try based on your goals and preferences. That conversation usually happens in the first sessions and can be revisited as things change.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as session options are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for a quieter, uninterrupted check-in. They also make it possible to continue work when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client together adjust pace and methods to suit everyday routines.
