Stefan Nowosielski , BACP

Stefan Nowosielski is a fully qualified person-centred and integrative counsellor who offers calm, practical support to people facing difficult life events and emotional challenges. He listens attentively to how experiences feel from each person's point of view and works collaboratively to help identify meaningful steps forward. Stefan is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and draws on that training to inform his practice.

His work is grounded in a person-centred approach, complemented by elements of transactional analysis, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural techniques, and solution-focused strategies. He is also trained in the Rewind technique for trauma, PTSD and OCD, and integrates these methods where appropriate to best support individual needs.

Stefan has supported people with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, bereavement, OCD, depression, workplace stress, relationship problems, borderline personality disorder, anger, low self-esteem, addiction, sexual trauma and self-harm. He offers time and space to explore these concerns and aims to help clients gain greater self-understanding and improved relationships.

Known for warmth and honesty, Stefan treats each person with respect and encourages clients to lead their own journey through therapy. He supports adults from all backgrounds and welcomes contact from anyone who feels they could benefit from talking things through.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Stefan commonly draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based work when supporting people online. Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding experiences from the client's perspective and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space to explore feelings and choices - it is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues and navigating life transitions. CBT offers practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it effective for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage overwhelming emotions and build tolerance for difficult sensations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stefan works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. He tailors methods over time, combining elements when that better serves the client's progress.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and reduce barriers like travel or scheduling. These options allow flexible scheduling, consistent contact between sessions when appropriate, and multiple ways to communicate so clients and licensed professionals can choose what feels most comfortable and effective.
