Rosella Pizzi

My name is Rosella. I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working in accordance with their Ethical Framework. 

Seeking therapy may reflect feelings of anxiety, confusion, loss, burnout, or inadequacy. Each of us has a unique story, and I would be honoured to listen to yours. Therapy offers an opportunity to reshape how you think, feel, and act.

My theoretical approach, rooted in the Relational Integrative Model, blends various modalities tailored to your unique needs. Prioritizing an authentic and trusting connection, I believe it's pivotal for effective therapy and healing. Within this approach, I may also facilitate the exploration of your childhood and past experiences as they influence, possibly unconsciously, your present behaviours, thoughts, and relations. Encouraging your self-awareness and self-compassion, my aim is to empower you to break negative patterns and move forward in a renewed way.

My experience includes working with primary school children, teenagers and adults in various settings, with presenting issues that comprise domestic abuse, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, anger management, low self-confidence, low self-esteem, self-harming and more.

Additionally, having lived and worked in diverse countries with different nationalities, I've gained insights into various cultures, fostering a deeper understanding of issues related to belonging and identity.

I provide individual counselling for adults, children and teenagers, offering both short- and long-term support. For children, I integrate play therapy, a powerful tool that helps them express emotions and experiences in a natural, non-verbal way. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and confidential space free of judgment, where you can embark on your therapeutic journey. Together, we navigate and explore your experiences and emotions at a pace that feels comfortable to you, deepening your self-awareness and understanding of relationships for personal growth and empowerment. I recognize that you are the expert of your own being, and with the right conditions and environment, you have the ability to flourish and realize your full potential. This process opens the door to living a more authentic, meaningful, and creative life.

In our first session, we have the opportunity to get to know each other and discuss your concerns. We will explore what you aim to achieve through therapy, strategizing how to reach your goals collaboratively. This serves as a chance to determine if we are a good therapeutic "fit" for each other, assessing the strength of our connection. 

Additionally, we will explore the potential impact of therapy on your well-being, crafting a working agreement to align our expectations and addressing any questions you may have.

Establishing trust is crucial in our therapeutic relationship, making this introductory session an important foundation for our work together.
