Background and approach

That means exploring what matters to the client, gently testing unhelpful thoughts and building everyday skills to reduce avoidance. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what someone can manage right now. With 16 years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Roseanna has worked extensively with anxiety, trauma, bereavement, phobias and addictions.

Her background includes many hours supporting adults through crises and life transitions, using both practical strategies and reflective work. People who come for help often want straightforward tools, clearer thinking and relief from intense reactions. Roseanna combines warm, respectful presence with clear techniques such as mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support those goals.

She encourages small, achievable steps and keeps the focus on what the client wants to change. To begin, Roseanna asks about the person’s current situation and what they would like to be different. From there she plans sessions that mix talking, practical exercises and mindfulness practice, helping people build confidence and daily coping that fits their life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on values-based actions that matter in daily life. It is useful for anxiety, phobias and life changes where avoidance has become a problem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and tests them with small, manageable steps. It often involves practical experiments and homework to reduce avoidance and build confidence around feared situations.

Client-Centred Therapy creates a supportive space where the person leads the pace and focus. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard, understood and gradually explore personal meaning and identity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adapt sessions as needs change. Decisions are made collaboratively rather than imposed.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family life and work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using practical exercises between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
