Rosa trained academically in psychology, holding a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with Neuropsychology and a Master of Science in Clinical and Health Psychology.
Background and approach
She does not practise as a psychologist, but her studies inform her counselling work and give extra context about how mind and body interact. Her practice centres on person‑centred care. Sessions focus on the person's experience, identity and values rather than on quick fixes.
Rosa emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the place where trust grows and change becomes possible. Therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. She uses reflective tools such as worksheets and journaling prompts when they feel helpful, and always adapts materials so they are manageable and supportive rather than overwhelming.
Rosa works with clients across cultures and borders and offers online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. She aims to create an emotionally attuned space where people can feel heard and take small steps toward greater clarity and resilience.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Online work can help people notice patterns in relationships and try different ways of connecting that feel safer and more manageable.Client‑Centered Therapy centres on the person's experience and values. In remote sessions the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, helping them make sense of feelings and choices over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rosa discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client helps shape what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and non‑verbal cues, while phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit shorter check‑ins, reflective writing or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
