Rosa Tomassi-Bella
Gentle, person-centred support for life’s challenges
About Rosa
Rosa Tomassi-Bella helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, or relationship difficulties. She offers a calm, steady presence and practical ways to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Rosa holds a BSc in Psychology with Neuropsychology and an MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology.
She does not practise as a psychologist, but her studies inform how she listens and responds. Those qualifications help her understand how emotional and physical experiences connect.
Background and approach
Her work is person-centred. That means the conversation is shaped around the individual rather than a rigid method. People set the pace and decide what matters most for them.
Rosa places value on the therapeutic relationship as the starting point for change. She also draws on attachment ideas and psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat in relationships. Jungian influences may be used to explore personal meaning and imagery, while mindfulness practices can help with grounding and reducing anxiety.
Sessions include collaborative discussion and optional reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts. These supports are offered in ways that can be adapted to the person's rhythm and needs. Rosa aims to create a space where emotions can be felt, considered, and worked through without pressure.
Rosa works online and across borders, welcoming people from different cultural backgrounds and identities. Her style is gentle, practical, and focused on helping people build clarity, resilience, and kinder self‑understanding.

How Rosa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rosa uses person-centred work alongside attachment-based and mindfulness ideas. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s pace, which helps with low mood, relationship worries and life changes. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help people understand repeated difficulties in connections. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and grounding skills that reduce anxiety and support emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rosa will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try first. The collaboration means approaches can be adjusted over time as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is lower, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can help people reflect between sessions. These options give flexibility for different routines, energy levels and practical circumstances while keeping the focus on steady therapeutic work.
