About Stefania
Her background blends humanistic and relational influences. She has a Level 5 Certificate in Relational Counselling with Relate and six years of clinical experience. That time includes work with anxiety, attachment difficulties, bereavement, relationship strain and stress linked to caring roles.
In sessions Stefania aims to tailor the work to each person. She draws on attachment-based thinking, client-centred ways of relating and cognitive approaches to help people make sense of patterns and try different responses. The tone tends to be reflective and practical, with time to talk things through and to notice what changes feel manageable.
Stefania also addresses issues like body image, guilt and shame, isolation, chronic health challenges and midlife concerns. She will explore how past experiences influence current relationships and how that matters for intimacy and trust. Therapy can focus on clearer communication, repairing connection, or coping strategies for everyday stressors.
Initial contact starts with a short telephone consultation where practical questions can be answered and the best next steps agreed. Stefania offers sessions in English and Italian and works with people across the United Kingdom.
Approaches you can expect in online sessions
Stefania commonly uses attachment-based work and client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural ideas. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now and can help with intimacy and trust issues. Client-centred work focuses on listening without judgement and helping the person find their own solutions to problems. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts and behaviours interact and support practical steps to reduce anxiety or unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Stefania will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on your goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and review what brings the clearest benefit over time.
Sessions are offered nationally via video platforms such as Zoom as stated in the profile, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter, focused check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity of care if circumstances change, while keeping the emphasis on steady progress and practical coping strategies.
